The use of an approximate integral method to account for intraparticle conduction in gas-solid heat exchangersRiahi, Ardeshir January 1985 (has links)
The mathematical equations describing transient heat transfer between the fluid flowing through a fixed bed and a moving bed of packing were formulated. The resistance to heat transfer within the packing due to its finite thermal conductivity was taken into account.
An approximate integral method was applied to obtain an analytical solution to transient response of the bed packing. Results for two cases of fixed and moving bed were obtained. The validity of the approximate method was checked against the more exact method employed by Handley and Heggs who obtained the results for a fixed bed of packing with a step change in fluid inlet temperature. It was concluded that the approximate method gives results that agree well with the more exact methods.
The method considered here provides a quick determination of the packing mean temperature in order to obtain the effectiveness. The other peculiarity of this method is that the effect of packing thermal conductivity can be examined very quickly since the solution is in analytical form. The analysis of the results revealed that as the thermal conductivity of the packing decreases the difference between its surface and mean temperature increases. A series of charts showing the comparison between the packing surface and mean temperatures for different thermal conductivities are presented. The approximate method was a moving bed of packing. It was packing thermal conductivity is series of charts representing versus dimensionless length conductivities are presented.

Performance evaluation of air-cooled heat exchangersMakhema, Thabo 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study to determine the air-side heat transfer and pressure drop
performance characteristics of commercially available round and elliptical fined tubes. A . computer code to compare the performance of industrial forced and induced draught aircooled
heat exchangers (henceforth referred to as f\CHE's) commonly found in the petrochemical
industry is also developed. The comparison is extended to include both round and
elliptical finned tubes.
From the tests conducted, it is found that there is generally an increase in the heat transfer
parameter with a decrease in the fin pitch. The decrease in the fin pitch however also results
in an increase in the pressure drop across the tube bundle. The performance of the tubes is
compared with round reference tubes having circular or plate fins for which performance
correlations are available in the literature. The fan power required by an induced draught aircooled
heat exchanger is found to be higher than that required by a forced draught heat
exchanger rejecting the same amount of heat. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoofdoel van hierdie studie is om die werksverrigting van industriële geforseerde trek --
en geinduseerde trek lugverkoelde warmteruilers (LVWR) soos algemeen aangetref in die
petrochemiese nywerheid te vergelyk. Warmteruiier bundels word gewoonlik opgebou uit
ronde vinbuise. Die werksverrigting van laasgenoemde word vergelyk met die
werksverrigting van warmteruiier bundels wat gebruik maak van elliptiese vinbuise.
Die werksverrigting van 'n reeks kommersieël verkrygbare ronde en elliptiese vinbuise
word deur middel van toetsing bepaal. In die algemeen word 'n toename in die
warmteoordrag-parameter waargeneem met In afname in die vinsteek. 'n Toename in die
vinsteek gaan egter gepaard met" 'n toename in die drukverlies oor die bundel. Die
werksverrigting van hierdie buise word vergelyk met bestaande korrelasies vir die
werksverrigting van ronde verwysingsbuise wat gebruik maak van ronde of plaatvinne.
Daar is bevind dat die drywing wat benodig word deur 'n waaier vir 'n geinduseerde trek
lugverkoelde warmteruiler, heelwat hoër is as in die geval van 'n geforseerde trek
lugverkoelde warmteruiler, vir dieselfde hoeveelheid hitte verwydering

Performance analysis of plate heat exchangers used as refrigerant evaporatorsHuang, Jianchang 16 May 2011 (has links)
PhD, Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand / In this study the heat transfer and frictional pressure drop performance
characteristics of plate heat exchangers (PHE’s) used as refrigerant liquid overfeed
evaporators were investigated. PHE’s have been gaining new applications in
the refrigeration industry, especially as evaporators, during the last few decades,
but the available information in the open literature for operation in this mode is
rather limited. This study aims to extend the knowledge of PHE evaporator
performance and to develop a model for use in evaluating heat transfer and
pressure drop over as wide a range of operating conditions as possible.
A laboratory experimental facility was constructed and the thermal-hydraulic
characteristics of three middle-size industrial PHE’s were measured. The
exchangers all had 24 plates of the same size but with different chevron angle
combinations of 28°/28°, 28°/60°, and 60°/60°. Two sets of tests were carried out
with the three units: single-phase performance tests with water, and evaporator
performance tests with R134a and R507A, for which the exchangers operated as
refrigerant liquid over-feed evaporators. The tests with water served to provide
accurate water-side heat transfer information for the evaporator performance
analysis which is the primary purpose of this study. In the evaporator
performance tests, refrigerant flow boiling heat transfer and two-phase pressure
drop data were obtained under steady conditions, over a range of heat flux from
1.9 to 6.9 kW/m2, refrigerant mass flux from 5.6 to 31.4 kg/(m2s), outlet vapour
quality from 0.2 to 0/95, and saturation temperatures from 5.9 to 13.0 °C.
Additional field data of thermal performance were collected on an ammonia and a
R12 PHE water chiller, operating as thermo-siphon evaporators at their design
working conditions.
All experimental data were reduced and analyzed to obtain the refrigerant-side
heat transfer coefficients and frictional pressure drops in the PHE evaporators.
The heat transfer results showed a strong dependence on heat flux and a weak
dependence on mass flux, vapour fraction and the chevron angle. Along with the
ii
observations from the ammonia and R12 evaporators, it is concluded that the
dominating heat transfer mechanism in this type of evaporator is nucleate boiling
rather than forced convection. In contrast to the heat transfer characteristics, the
refrigerant two-phase frictional pressure drop was found to be strongly influenced
by mass flow rate, vapour fraction and also the chevron angle. An almost linear
increase of the frictional pressure drop with the homogeneous two-phase kinetic
energy per unit volume was observed for both refrigerants.
Based on the experimental data, correlations were developed for predicting the
refrigerant boiling heat transfer coefficient and two-phase frictional pressure drop
in PHE liquid over-feed evaporators. Two correlations were developed for
boiling heat transfer, one of these reflecting the h-q relationship in pool boiling,
the other with all constants and exponents determined by regression analysis. The
mean absolute errors are respectively 7.3% and 6.8% for these correlations. For
two-phase frictional pressure drop, data were correlated using two established
methods, namely the homogeneous and the Lockhart-Martinelli methods, with
means absolute errors of 6.7% and 4.2%, respectively. The homogeneous model
showed a slightly higher discrepancy with the experimental data but is likely to
be more physically sound for PHE evaporators, and is much simpler to apply.
Validation of these correlations with other data has been difficult due to the
shortage of published information. For other refrigerants operating at comparable
conditions, these correlations should serve as a guide, while more accurate design
or evaluation may need to be based on further testing.
The performance analysis carried out in this study was based on systematic
experimental investigations and field tests on industrial PHE units. Correlations
were developed covering a rather extensive range of flow parameters, plate
geometry and various refrigerants. Such correlations have not been reported
previously for PHE liquid over-feed evaporators. The results simplify the
performance analysis of PHE evaporators and provide a reliable thermalhydraulic
model of PHE liquid over-feed evaporators, which can be used for
system modeling of water-chilling machines employing this type of evaporator.
