Heat Exchangers – Some Basics

Focus is on the system to have heat flow from the hot fluid(s) to the cold fluid(s) usually without direct contact Use bulk flow parameters to relate the heat conduction across the flow barrier to the change in

energy of the hot & cold fluids

Account for the series of resistances to heat transfer between the hot & cold fluids

Heat exchangers Heat to & from flowing fluids through impermeable barrier(s)

Driving force for heat through barriers is the temperature difference between the two fluids on opposite sides of the barrier

Relate the heat effects in the flowing fluids to the change in enthalpy

• Often this can be related to the difference in the inlet & outlet temperatures for the fluids

Heat Exchangers – Some Basics

LMTD is a prescribed calculation – calculating the LMTD from the procedure is always correct.

LMTD is appropriate for use as the area averaged temperature difference when temperature vs. heat released/absorbed is a straight line 1-1 co-current & counter-current flow and …

Both hot & cold sides have a constant heat or …

Only pure component phase change on one side or the other (no subcoolingor superheating)

Heat Exchangers – Some Basics

Heat exchanger configurations – Co-Current vs. Counter-Current vs. Cross-Current flows Counter-current flow allows the outlet temperatures to approach more closely to the

inlet temperature of the other fluid

Cross-current flow is complicated & requires knowledge of the actual flow patterns

Heat exchangers – Industrial Heat Exchangers Industrial heat exchangers have a combination of heat transfer through multiple

barriers and a combination of counter-current & co-current flow

• LMTD must be “corrected” to give the actual area-averaged temperature difference (i.e., driving force)

Heat Exchangers – Complicated Flow

Many industrial heat exchangers have complicated flow paths consisting of multiple shell & tube passes

The area-averaged temperature difference has needs to include configuration information For example, a 1-2 (1 shell & 2 tube passes) exchanger combines both counter & co-

current flow

The fluid in the shell pass transfers heat separately to the two tube banks

Heat Transfer – What if there is pure component phase change?

If there is only phase change then the LMTD is still the appropriate area-averaged temperature difference If there is superheating and/or subcooling the situation is more complicated

For a pure component only with phase change … The temperature will remain constant

The heat released/absorbed will be related to the enthalpy of phase change at the exchanger conditions (pressure & temperature)

Since the temperature vs. heat released/absorbed curve is a straight line then the LMTD is appropriate for the area-averaged temperature difference

Heat Transfer – What if there are coils in a well-mixed tank?

An ideal well-mixed tank has then same temperature at any point in the tank – it is the same as the outlet temperature from the tank

The outside of the coils will experience this single temperature

Since the temperature is constant it will lead to the applicability of the LMTD as the area-averaged temperature difference

Heat Transfer – Some Basics

Thermal resistances are added when in series Can be combined into an overall heat transfer coefficient

Across a flat plate (i.e., constant cross sectional area)

For radial heat transfer (e.g., through the wall of a tube) must also take into account the change in area with respect to radius

• Overall heat transfer coefficient must also be related to a reference area or diameter

Summary

Analysis of heat exchangers builds on the understanding of the basics of heat transfer by conduction, convection, and/or radiation

Different configurations will lead to different area-averaged temperature differences, leading to different required heat transfer areas Typically the LMTD

Stirred vessels will have a single temperature against the heat transfer area

Cooling Tower Principles

Evaporative cooling (Psychrometry) Dry Bulb versus Wet Bulb

Temperature

• Contact dry air with water

• Saturation of air (vaporization of some water) takes energy

• Air is cooled below ambient – to “Wet Bulb” temperature

Takes advantage of air below 100% humidity

• Wet Bulb MUST be lower than Dry Bulb temperature

Example:

How cold can you get?

Air temperature: 95°F

RH = 65%

Temperature with cooling tower?

Temperature with air cooler?

Wet bulb=84°F
