For a standard single-phase fluid flowing through a circular pipe under turbulent conditions, the Atlas references variants of the famous (developed by Volker Gnielinski, a major contributor to Part G). This relationship calculates the Nusselt number across wide ranges of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers:
Covers everything from simple conduction to complex multi-component fluid mixtures and radiation in furnaces Accessibility
The is widely regarded as the definitive reference work for thermal process engineering in Europe. Published by the Association of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure), it is not just a book of formulas; it is a comprehensive database for the calculation of heat and mass transfer.
Over the years, the VDI-Wärmeatlas has seen numerous updated editions, each reflecting the latest state of knowledge and industrial practice. Key German editions include the 8th (1997), 9th (2002), 10th (2006), and the 11th edition (2013).
Evaluation of the VDI Heat Atlas as a reference work for heat transfer design Document type: Technical reference compendium (digital PDF version) Target audience: Process, chemical, and mechanical engineers; researchers; students
Practical methods for calculating shell-and-tube exchangers , plate heat exchangers, and air coolers.
