In parallel flow heat exchanger working fluids are enter the heat exchanger at the inlet end of the tube side and travel to the opposite outlet end in parallel streams. In a counter flow arrangement, the working fluids are incoming at opposite ends of the heat exchanger and flow in parallel but opposite directions. Temperatures within the two media incline to slant one another in a closely linear manner resulting in more uniform heating patter. Fig1.1 shows the heat exchangers of the axial temperature counter’s for each. Parallel flow results present quick initial rates of heat exchange near the entrance, but heat transfer rates quickly lower as the temperatures of the two fluids meet one another. This leads to higher heat loss during heat exchange. Counter flow provides for fairly constant temperature differences and, consequently, lead toward fairly constant heat rates throughout the length of the …show more content…
[3] the investigators perform the experiment on three steps. The first one is, plain tube heat exchanger and two different angled twisted tape inserts used as a reference. In the second step the investigators used twisted tapes by changing the twist angles of tape inserts. In the third step they compare the plain tube with inserts with tape inserts by changing the tape twist angle. Finally the experimental results reveal that heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in the pipe, are higher than those in the plain tube. It is observed from the experiment the heat exchanger with annular twist tape having angle of 450 caused in higher in Nusselt number over plain heat exchanger and heat exchanger with twisted tape having angle

WV5 was initially closed. The Honeywell STD 924 DP meter’s pressure tap lines were placed at PT 1, just before the P-1 Sterlings Fluid System Peerless Pump PE50B1, and PT 10, just after WV5. A Fluke 179 multimeter was attached to the DP electrical box. The multimeter was set to read electrical signal in the form of DC current with units of mA.…

    The purpose of this lab was to find the most efficient way to transfer heat from a chip to a water beaker. The heat transfer was coming from burning a baked lay and through our calorimeter heat energy was pushed out. Then we took it another step further by modifying our calorimeter to capture even more energy. The overall purpose was to capture as much energy as possible. “Energy is the ability to do work, or the ability to elicit change in matter.”…

    “Calorimetry has a very broad range of applicability, with examples ranging from drug design in the pharmaceutical industry, to quality control of process streams in the chemical industry (Science.uwaterloo.ca, 2017).” For this experiment it will be used to measure the heat produced by different mixtures of alcohol’s and alkanes. The different types of alkanes used will be pentane (C5H12), hexane (C6H14), heptane (C7H16) and octane (C8H18). They will be mixed with the alcohol pentanol (C5H12O). The formula used to calculate the heat is…

    Unit 16 – P1: Cold water: Indirect cold water: This type of water system comes through the house through the rising main. Then the water gets separated up to a 24 hour storage cylinder, from here is where the water gets sent back down to all of the appliances that require it apart from the kitchen sink. This is because the kitchen sink is fed water by a direct water source due to it being used for food prep. An advantage of using indirect cold water is if the main supply gets cut off you still have the 24 hour storage cylinder to supply your water until it gets fixed. But a disadvantage is that it is more expensive to install and requires a lot more Direct cold water:…

    The New European immigration to America Within the midst of the American industrial transformation a second giant wave of immigration had begun, referred to as the “New Immigration”. Immigrants from all around the globe have had various factors pushing them away from their home countries and pulling them towards the pursuit of a new life and economic opportunities in America. Within the fictional book, based on the actual historical context of immigration, Out of This Furnace by Thomas Bell follows a young man by the name of George Kracha. Kracha was a resident/citizen of Hungary and is enticed to leave the coal fields of his home country by abject poverty, limited employment prospects and an oppressive government.…

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the temperature and pressure of air at constant volume which placed the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperature. At the constant volume of the air in the Jolly’s bulb, the temperature and pressure of the air are measured and recorded throughout the experiment. The result shows that the pressure of the air in the Jolly’s bulb increases as the temperature rises, and the pressure decreases as the temperature decreases. After plotting the graph manually according to the data obtained from the experiment, it shows that the pressure of air is linearly proportional to the temperature of air at constant volume.…
