Heat Transfer Equipment
Food Engineering Series, 2016Co-Authors: George Saravacos, Athanasios E KostaropoulosAbstract:The Transfer of Heat to and from process fluids is an essential part of most chemical processes. The most commonly used type of Heat-Transfer Equipment is the ubiquitous shell and tube Heat exchanger; the design of which is the main subject of this chapter. The fundamentals of Heat-Transfer theory are covered in Volume 1, Chapter 9; and in many other textbooks: Holman (2002), Ozisik (1985), Rohsenow et al. (1998), Kreith and Bohn (2000), and Incropera and Dewitt (2001). Several useful books have been published on the design of Heat exchange Equipment. These should be consulted for fuller details of the construction of Equipment and design methods than can be given in this book. A selection of the more useful texts is listed in the bibliography at the end of this chapter. The compilation edited by Schl¨under (1983ff), see also the edition by Hewitt (1990), is probably the most comprehensive work on Heat exchanger design methods available in the open literature. The book by Saunders (1988) is recommended as a good source of information on Heat exchanger design, especially for shell-and-tube exchangers. As with distillation, work on the development of reliable design methods for Heat exchangers has been dominated in recent years by commercial research organisations: Heat Transfer Research Inc. (HTRI) in the United States and Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Service (HTFS) in the United Kingdom. HTFS was developed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and the National Physical Laboratory, but is now available from Aspentech, see Chapter 4, Table 4.1. Their methods are of a proprietary nature and are not therefore available in the open literature. They will, however, be available to design engineers in the major operating and contracting companies, whose companies subscribe to these organisations.

Heat Transfer Equipment
2016Co-Authors: George Saravacos, Athanasios E KostaropoulosAbstract:Heat Transfer Equipment is used in most food processing operations as an important part of the manufacturing or preservation processes. The Transfer of energy to or from food materials during processing requires special Equipment, which is designed and operated on the basis of the engineering principles of Heat Transfer and the experience and practice of food process engineering.

a fouling evaluation system for industrial Heat Transfer Equipment subject to fouling
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2000Co-Authors: M AbuzaidAbstract:Abstract A fouling evaluation system has been designed and constructed to facilitate simulation of conditions found in the Heating plant of Mutah University. The system has a great flexibility, because of the several parameters that may be varied, to simulate an actual process. These parameters include ΔT, Heat flux, liquid type, liquid velocity, and metallurgy of Heat Transfer surfaces. Hence, allowing the simulation of conditions found in variety of industrial Heat Transfer Equipment subject to fouling. The system provides a quantitative information of liquid-side fouling on Heat Transfer surfaces, and its effect on thermal efficiency. Output data is significantly important for the design, and for formulating operating and cleaning schedules, of pertinent Equipment.

optimal Heat exchanger network synthesis with the detailed Heat Transfer Equipment design
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2007Co-Authors: Mauro A S S Ravagnani, José A. CaballeroAbstract:This paper presents an optimisation model for the synthesis of Heat exchanger networks (HEN) including the detailed design of the Equipments formulated as a decomposition method. Shell and tube pressure drops and fouling are considered, as well as mechanical aspects, like shell and tube bundle diameters, internal and external diameter of tubes, number of tubes, number of baffles, number of shells, tube length, tube arrangement and the fluid allocation in the Heat exchanger. The optimisation model is based on area, energy and pumping costs. The algorithm combines two distinct models, in a decomposition method, a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) superstructure simultaneous optimisation model for the Heat exchanger network synthesis considering stream splitting and a MINLP model for the detailed Equipment design, following rigorously the standards of the TEMA. Two examples from the literature are used to test the algorithm developed, and the results confirm the achievement of the optimum HEN configuration with the detailed Heat exchangers design, following the TEMA standards.
