Measurement of flow field and local heat transfer distribution on a scraped heat exchanger crystalliser surface

چکیده
In a cylindrical scraped heat exchanger crystallizer geometry the flow field influence on the local heat transfer distribution on an evenly cooled scraped heat exchanger surface has been studied by direct measurements of the heat exchanger surface temperature and the fluid velocity field inside the crystallizer. Liquid Crystal Thermometry revealed that the local heat transfer is higher in the middle area of the scraped surface. Stereoscopic PIV measurements demonstrated that the secondary flow inside the crystallizer is responsible for this phenomenon. These local heat transfer inhomogeneities on the heat exchanger surface reduce the control over the onset of the formation of an isolating scale layer, and therefore limits the production capacity of the crystallization process.

Measurement of Local Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient of Alumina-Water Nanofluids in a Double Tube Heat Exchanger
Heat transfer coefficient and thermal efficiency of γ-Al2O3/water nanofluids flowing through a double tube heat exchanger were experimentally investigated. The nanoparticles were well dispersed in distilled water at 0.05–0.15 %vol. A large number of experiments were performed at different fluid flow rates under turbulent flow regime (18,000<Re<40,000) and various nanofluid...

During crystallization the control and effective distribution of heat transfer from the solution to the heat exchanger (HE) plays an important role. Inhomogeneity in temperature on the HE-surface limits the production capacity and increases the tendency of an isolating scale layer formation. To avoid scaling, scraper blades on the HE are commonly used. In a typical axi-symmetric geometry the sc...

Heat and mass transfer, in this paper, is considered in one-row heat exchanger, that fins are hotter than air flow and water is added to fins. Related governing equations are derived by analyzing a two-dimension model in a unique cell of a heat exchange. These equations are numerically solved by finite difference method. Heat transfer and efficiency under partially wet surface are calculated by...
