Heat Exchanger Types

Heat exchangers are ubiquitous in energy conversion and utilization. They involve heat exchange between two fluids separated by a solid and encompass a wide range of flow configurations.

• Concentric-Tube Heat Exchangers

Parallel Flow Counterf low

Ø Simplest configuration. Ø Superior performance associated with counter flow.

Cross-flow Heat Exchangers

Finned-Both Fluids Unmixed

Unfinned-One Fluid Mixed the Other Unmixed

Ø For cross-flow over the tubes, fluid motion, and hence mixing,

in the transverse direction (y) is prevented for the finned tubes, but occurs for the unfinned condition.

Ø Heat exchanger performance is influenced by mixing.

Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers

One Shell Pass and One Tube Pass

Ø Baffles are used to establish a cross-flow and to induce turbulent mixing of the shell-side fluid, both of which enhance convection.

Ø The number of tube and shell passes may be varied, e.g.:

One Shell Pass, Two Tube Passes

Two Shell Passes, Four Tube Passes

Compact Heat Exchangers

Ø Widely used to achieve large heat rates per unit volume, particularly when one or both fluids is a gas.

Ø Characterized by large heat transfer surface areas per unit volume, small flow passages, and laminar flow.

(a) Fin-tube (flat tubes, continuous plate fins) (b) Fin-tube (circular tubes, continuous plate fins) (c) Fin-tube (circular tubes, circular fins) (d) Plate-fin (single pass) (e) Plate-fin (multipass)

Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient (1/2)

• An essential requirement for heat exchanger design or performance calculations.

• Contributing factors include convection and conduction associated with the two fluids and the intermediate solid, as well as the potential use of fins on both sides and the effects of time- dependent surface fouling. • With subscripts c and h used to designate the cold and hot fluids, respectively, the most general expression for the overall coefficient is:

A Methodology for Heat Exchanger Design Calculations (Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) Method)

• A form of Newton’s law of cooling may be applied to heat exchangers by using a log-mean value of the temperature difference between the two fluids:

ΔT = ΔT

1 − ΔT2

l m 1n (ΔT1 / ΔT2 )

Evaluation of depends on the heat exchanger type.

Overall Energy Balance

• Application to the hot (h) and cold (c) fluids:

• Assume negligible heat transfer between the exchanger and its surroundings and negligible potential and kinetic energy changes for each fluid.

• Assuming no l/v phase change and constant specific heats,

Special Operating Conditions

Ø Case (a): Ch>>Cc or h is a condensing vapor – Negligible or no change in Th (Th,o=Th,i)

Ø Case (b): Cc>>Ch or c is an evaporating liquid

– Negligible or no change in Tc (Tc,o=Tc,i) Ø Case (c): Ch=Cc.

General Considerations

• Computational Features/Limitations of the LMTD Method:

The LMTD method may be applied to design problems for which the fluid flow rates and inlet temperatures, as well as a desired outlet temperature, are prescribed. For a specified HX type, the required size (surface area), as well as the other outlet temperature, are readily determined.

Ø If the LMTD method is used in performance calculations for which both outlet temperatures must be determined from knowledge of the inlet temperatures, the solution procedure is iterative.

Ø For both design and performance calculations, the effectiveness-NTU method may be used without iteration.

Definitions (1/2)

• Heat exchanger effectiveness, : • Maximum possible heat rate: Ø Will the fluid characterized by Cmin or Cmax experience the largest possible temperature change in transit through the HX?

Ø Why is Cmin and not Cmax used in the definition of qmax?

Definitions (2/2)

• Number of Transfer Units, NTU
