A heat exchanger transfers heat between two fluids through conduction. It can transfer heat between fluids that never mix by using a solid wall, or between directly contacted fluids. Heat exchangers are widely used in applications like HVAC, power plants, refineries, and manufacturing. They are classified based on construction and flow configuration, with shell-and-tube and plate heat exchangers being most common. Proper design considers factors like heat transfer rate, pressure drop, fouling, and effectiveness.
The document discusses heat exchangers used on ships. It describes that heat exchangers transfer heat from one medium to another through direct contact or a separating wall. Common applications on ships include cooling lubricating oil and fresh water using sea water, and heating fuel oil using steam. The two main types are shell and tube exchangers, where one medium flows inside tubes and the other outside the tubes, and plate exchangers, where media flow on either side of corrugated plates. Proper design and maintenance are important for heat exchanger effectiveness and service life.

Summary of lmtd and e ntu. The Log Mean Temperature Difference Method (LMTD) The Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference(LMTD) is valid only for heat exchanger with one shell pass and one tube pass. For multiple number of shell and tube passes the flow pattern in a heat exchanger is neither purely co-current nor purely counter-current. The temperature difference between the hot and cold fluids varies along the heat exchanger. It is convenient to have a mean temperature difference Tm for use in the relation. s mQ UA T

Heat exchangers transfer heat between two or more fluids that are at different temperatures. They work by bringing the fluids into thermal contact through a conducting surface while preventing mixing. There are several types of heat exchangers classified by their heat exchange process, fluid flow direction, mechanical design, and physical state. A common type is the shell and tube heat exchanger, which consists of a shell with a bundle of tubes inside. One fluid flows through the tubes while another flows over the tubes to transfer heat between the fluids. Double pipe heat exchangers are a simpler design with one pipe inside a larger pipe, allowing fluids to flow within and between the pipes.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (3)Shanu Jp
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems can heat, ventilate and cool indoor air through various methods. Heating can be accomplished by heating the air directly or heating occupants through radiation. Ventilation maintains air quality through supply and exhaust of air. Air conditioning cools and dehumidifies air. Passive design strategies utilize the sun's energy for heating through orientation, glazing and thermal mass. Passive cooling strategies rely on ventilation, evaporative cooling and heat sinks like outdoor air to reduce cooling loads. Wind ventilation uses natural airflow through strategic window and vent placement to passively cool and ventilate buildings.
1) The document discusses the derivation of the continuity equation and Euler's equation from principles of conservation of mass and momentum using a control volume approach.
2) It also discusses the derivation of Bernoulli's equation from the conservation of mechanical energy principle for a steady, inviscid flow along a streamline.
3) The key assumptions required for applying Bernoulli's equation are that the flow must be steady, incompressible, frictionless, and occur along a streamline with no shaft work or heat transfer occurring.
A well-designed landscape can significantly cut energy costs by protecting a home from wind and sun. Elements like trees, shrubs, and other plants can provide shade and wind protection to reduce cooling and heating needs. Strategically placed trees and other landscape features can create beneficial microclimates around a home to conserve resources like water and minimize pollution. Landscape design principles including shading, windbreaks, water conservation, and use of arbors and permeable groundcovers can all contribute to an energy efficient landscape that requires fewer inputs to maintain.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels made of semiconductor materials. A solar PV panel generates voltage and current when exposed to sunlight, with higher intensity sunlight producing more electricity. The electricity produced is direct current (DC), which requires an inverter to convert it to alternating current (AC) for common uses. Solar PV systems have no moving parts and require little maintenance, but cannot generate power at night or when the sun is obscured by clouds. Proper system sizing requires determining energy needs and available sunlight based on location, direction panels face, shading, and other factors. Larger panels, tracking systems, and concentrating optics can increase energy capture.
This document discusses several major current environmental issues:
1) Pollution, population growth, global warming, waste disposal, climate change, and other issues are negatively impacting the environment.
2) Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activities is causing global warming. As the planet warms, glaciers and ice sheets are melting, sea levels are rising, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe.
3) Warming is also impacting ecosystems and biodiversity as species struggle to adapt to rapid climate change. Key environmental problems like pollution, overpopulation, and resource depletion exacerbate global warming if left unaddressed. Urgent action is needed to transition to renewable energy and more sustainable practices globally

30. Shell-and-tube heat exchanger (one pass both sides)
IES ANNA UNIVERSITY
Shell-and-tube heat exchanger: The most common type of heat exchanger in
industrial applications.
They contain a large number of tubes (sometimes several hundred) packed in a
shell with their axes parallel to that of the shell. Heat transfer takes place as one
fluid flows inside the tubes while the other fluid flows outside the tubes through the
shell.
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are further classified according to the number of
shell and tube passes involved.
35. Baffle cut
It is expressed as the percentage of the segment height to the shell inside
diameter.
o It can vary between 15% to 45% of the shell inside diameter.
o Small baffle cut – Generating large eddies of recirculating fluid in the regions
near the baffle tips.
o Large baffle cut – Major part of the shellside stream bypasses the greater
part of the bundle as well eddies created.
36. Baffle cut
IES ANNA UNIVERSITY
o Recommended baffle cut - 20% to 35% of the shell inside diameter.
o Keep Window Flow same as Cross Flow.
37. Conventional Baffle - Negatives
o Leads to more leakage
o Formation of many dead zones on eiether side of baffle plate, where fouling
will pronounced
o Greater pressure drop in shell side, which leads to reduction in heat transfer
In order to avoid above problems, helical baffles (helixchanger) are suggested
in the place of conventional baffles.

(say, hi << ho), we have 1/hi >> 1/ho, and thus U hi. This situation arises frequently
when one of the fluids is a gas and the other is a liquid. In such cases, fins are

Cost of fouling:
Fouling of heat transfer equipment introduces an additional cost to the industrial
sector. The added cost is in the form of
o Increased capital expenditure
o Increased maintenance cost
o Loss of production and
o Energy losses (due to reduction in heat transfer and increase in pumping power)

o In addition to thermal design, fluid friction effects are equally important since
they determine the pressure drop of the fluids flowing in the system, and
consequently, the pumping power (or fan work) input necessary to maintain the
flow.

57. Problem – Over all heat transfer coefficient
Hot oil is to be cooled in a double-tube counter-flow heat exchanger. The
copper inner tubes have a diameter of 2 cm and negligible thickness. The
inner diameter of the outer tube (the shell) is 3 cm. Water flows through the
tube at a rate of 0.5 kg/s, and the oil through the shell at a rate of 0.8 kg/s.
Taking the average temperatures of the water and the oil to be 45°C and 80°C,
respectively, determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of this heat
exchanger.
Solution:
Assumptions : 1 The thermal resistance of the inner tube is negligible since the
tube material is highly conductive and its thickness is negligible. 2 Both the oil and
water flow are fully developed. 3 Properties of the oil and water are constant.

66. Problem – LMTD & ε-NTU method
A one ton split Ac removes 3.5 kW from a room and in the process rejects 4.2 kW in the
air-cooled condenser. The ambient temperature is 30oC whereas condensing
temperature of the refrigerant is 45oC. Using LMTD (Take UA=350 W/K) method,
calculate the temperature rise of the air as it flows over the condenser tubes.
Use NTU (Take NTU=0.2 )method to find the temperature rise of the air.
