Anyone have a copy of Gosney you looking to sell?:)
Gosney, W. B. Principles of Refrigeration. Cambridge University Press, New York, 1982.
I know its out if print and a bit dated now but I would like to get a copy for record.
I bought Dossat and Horan instead but I'm not happy with it.
Anyone know how to get hold of Thomas Horan? I have a few questions...:confused:
The Gosney book is very good. I have had my copy for many years and would recommend it...if you can find a copy. Have you tried Alibris or Abe books yet?
Has the Dossat book been revised enough now that it is starting to be questionable?

I have Dossat 5th ed. My opinion is that it is not a strong theoretical reference.
I often turn to ASHRAE Handbooks but I'm getting very frustrated by the number of mistakes I find. You mentioned the Froude number before. Well ASHRAE Fundamentals 2005 has 4 correlations for boiling in 2-phase flow. I am writing a small test program to compare these and got some odd numbers. Turns out that the Froude number is incorrectly defined!
Bookfinder.com have a copy..... it must be good, look at the price!
I hope this link works
