Perry mentioned he wanted an introduction to thermodynamics
and I recommended Marks' Standard Handbook For Mechanical Engineers.
Unfortunately Marks is a good introduction to thermo theory it stops 
short of what he really wants to know about heat exchangers.

The other book you need Perry is "Compact Heat Exchangers" by Kays and London.
Krieger Publishing Company. Not exactly elementary but it is the bible
on heat exchangers.
