applications; expanded tube count tables for shell-and-tube heat exchangers; a practical approach to design against tube bundle vibration; and a comparative synopsis of the various national wind codes. Topics included in the text are considered to be those typically encountered in engineering practice. For reasons of time and space the dynamic analyses of seismic response spectra and an extensive discussion on pulsation response spectra in piping induced by acoustic pulsation are not discussed. However, a short discussion is given on pulsation response spectra induced by acoustic pulsations. Single-phase flow is much more common in mechanical systems than two-phase flow, so because of time and space two-phase flow is not discussed. This book is not intended to be a substitute or a replacement of any accepted code or standard. The reader is strongly encouraged to consult and be knowledgeable of any accepted standard or code that may govern. It is felt that this book is a valuable supplement to any standard or code used. The book is slanted toward the practices of the ASME vessel and piping codes and the TEMA standard for shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The intent is not to be heavily prejudiced toward any standard, but to discuss the issue—engineering. If one feels that a certain standard or code should be mentioned, please remember that there are others who may be using different standards and it is impossible to discuss all of them. The reader's academic level is assumed to be a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, but engineers with bachelor of science degrees in civil, chemical, electrical, or other engineering disciplines should have little difficulty with the book, provided, of course, that they have received adequate academic training or experience. Junior or senior undergraduate engineering students should find the book a useful introduction to the application of mechanical engineering to process systems. Professors should find the book a helpful reference (and a source of potential exam problems), as well as practical textbook for junior-, senior-, or graduate-level courses in the mechanical, civil, or chemical engineering fields. The book can also be used to supplement an introductory level textbook. The French philosopher Voltaire once said," Common sense is not very common," and unfortunately, this is sometimes the case in engineering. Common sense is often the by-product of experience, and while both are essential to sound engineering practice, neither can be learned from books alone. It is one of this book's goals to unite these three elements of "book learning," common sense, and experience to give the novice a better grasp of engineering principles and procedures, and serve as a practical design reference for the veteran engineer.
