    theoretical overall heat transfer coefficient, the effects of insulation, and the number of fouled tubes in the shell and tube heat exchanger. The flow rates of the hot water supply to the tubes and the cold water supply to the shell were varied, and temperatures for the hot inlet, hot outlet, cold inlet, and cold outlet streams were recorded. These temperatures were recorded for each of the three experimental setups, which were no fouling or insulation, insulation with no fouling, and insulation with an unknown amount of fouling, then used to calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient. As the flow rates for the hot and cold side increased, the overall heat…

    Mathematical model Heat and mass transfer properties of counter flow wet cooling tower are obtained through the balance of mass and energy equations. The assumptions made for deriving the governing equations are listed below [14, 15]: • Heat and mass transfer take place only normal to the flow direction. • Heat transfer to the environment through the walls are negligible. • Heat transfer from cooling-tower fan is negligible. • Specific heats of water and dry air are constant. • Heat and mass…

    Most people know that heat moves from hot objects to cold objects, but do they know how that heat is transferred? There are only three ways that heat can be transferred: conduction, convection, and radiation. Today I will endeavor to inform the reader on how these three different methods of heat transfer work and provide examples of where they occur in the real world. The most prevalent, and most commonly recognized, form of heat transfer is conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat…

    it becomes more important to optimize the existing energy and utility systems. For example, heat exchange network development from the embryonic stage or retrofit of current systems are one of the challenges of chemical engineering nowadays. Heat exchange network design might have various objective functions, such as minimum utility costs, minimum investment costs or minimization of the number of possible matches in the configuration. To address these challenges, optimisation tools and…
