Traditionally hydronic system designers are practicing engineers with substantial experience acquired over many years of activity. The skills and techniques they utilize are not usually available to others. Hansen, an engineer who has specialized in this field for many years, has brought together the underlying principles and the practical design concepts to produce a comprehensive work. Many actual systems are considered and good examples are used to illustrate technical concepts. This book is a valuable adjunct to the ASHRAE handbooks because of its depth of subject coverage. An excellent engineering library reference source for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students in mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering.-L.L.
