FUNDAMENTAL HEAT AND MASS-TRANSFER RESEARCH IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEWHEAT-EXCHANGERS CONCEPTS

The paper represents authors view on the present development in resear ch of heat and mass transfer related to the modern development of the heat exchangers. Special attention is devoted to the assessment of the potentiality of different mode of heat and mass transfer mechanism in relation to the new development of heat exchangers design. In this re spect emphasize is given to those mechanism of heat and mass transfer which are in correlation with potential enhancement of the individual processes leading to increase its intensity and remove existing limita tion in the design of modern heal exchanger surfaces. In particular at tention is given to the future needs and demand for further developmen t in heat and mass transfer.
