Heat exchanger An interchangeable plate heat exchanger Tubular heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is a piece of equipment built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall‚ so that they never mix‚ or they may be in direct contact.[1] They are widely used in space heating‚ refrigeration‚ air conditioning‚ power plants‚ chemical plants‚ petrochemical plants‚ petroleum refineries‚ natural gas processing‚ and sewage treatment. The classic example

Cross Flow Heat Exchanger Experiment By Andres Rodriguez Abstract The design project of the group was to create an experiment for Thermo/Fluids Laboratory. The experiment will help aide the students in relating pressure drop and heat transfer in a cross flow heat exchanger. The experiment consists of three cross flow heat exchangers (bare inline‚ bare staggered‚ and finned staggered) that will cool hot water with current fan in the Laboratory. Optimal flow rates‚ pressure and temperature

geothermal heat pump The Direct exchange geothermal heat pump is the oldest type of geothermal heat pump technology. It is also the simplest and easiest to understand. The ground-coupling is achieved through a single loop circulating refrigerant in direct thermal contact with the ground (as opposed to a combination of a refrigerant loop and a water loop). The refrigerant leaves the heat pump appliance cabinet‚ circulates through a loop of copper tube buried underground‚ and exchanges heat with the

Aim To investigate the effect of molar mass on the molar heat of combustion of adjacent members of a homologous alcohol series. Introduction Chemists refer to the energy stored in a substance as the heat content or enthalpy of the substance. The heat of reaction is determined by the difference in the enthalpy between the reactants and products. The molar heat of combustion of a substance is the quantity of heat liberated when one mole of that substance is burnt completely in air. In the case

Heat Conduction along a Composite Bar Objective To study the conduction of heat along a composite bar and evaluate the overall heat transfer coefficient. Theory Thermal conduction is the mode of heat transfer which occurs in a material by virtue of a temperature gradient within it. A solid is chosen for the demonstration of pure conduction since both liquids and gasses exhibit excessive convective heat transfer. In a practical situation‚ heat conduction occurs in three detentions‚ a complexity

conducted was to analyse the work of a heat exchanger‚ by studying the effects of heat transfer from a hot stream and a cold stream in the heat exchanger. In the experiment we were introduced to the shell and tube heat exchanger and were told of all its parts and how to use them. The experiment started by evaluating what the heat transfer rate for a hot stream and a cold stream was within the heat exchanger. Using this information the experiment went on to analyse the heat exchanger in more detail. The log

Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Systems Clinton Ward COM155 February 17‚ 2013 Joyce Keeling Air Conditioning and Heat Pump Systems Air conditioners and heat pump systems are used by most people in the world today. They are used to cool in the summer time and to heat in the winter time. These machines are bought and used when most people do not even understand the principle on which they work. The machines are expected do what they are designed to do‚ and when they cease to do this‚ they can
