Hi,

I'm searching for a good reference book explaning how to determine if both fixed tubesheet or associated shell will be overstressed because of the differential thermal expension of shell VS tubes and if the need of an expansion joints is necessary. Except the TEMA standard and UHX subsection of ASME Section VIII div. 1, which of the following references books can help me to find out more information about the issue explain above? :

- Heat Exchangers: Selection, Rating, and Thermal Design, Second Edition
- Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design
- Heat Exchanger Design Handbook (Mechanical Engineering (Marcell Dekker))
- Heat Exchanger Engineering Techniques: Process, Air Conditioning, and Electronic Systems

Thanks in advance,

hcjulien
