MEA heat exchanger E-114. This heat exchanger is a counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger and is designed to heat up the rich MEA stream flowing from the CO2 absorber to the stripper. The principle that is applied is heat exchange between cold stream and hot stream which in this case the heat energy is transferred from the lean MEA stream to the rich MEA stream. Apart from this‚ the chemical engineering design for this heat exchanger includes the determination of its dimensions and heat exchange

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 mean

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

thermal‚ mechanical and hydraulic design response report to a heat exchanger problem where ethylene glycol and a poor quality feed of water are put through a shell and tube exchanger with the objective of cooling the ethylene glycol feed. A shell and tube exchanger was chosen over several other exchangers due to its high efficient performance and its relative ease of maintenance in processing these fluids. From the data given and specific heat capacity researched for ethylene glycol‚ a MatLab script
Premium Heat exchanger Heat transfer
radiation is one of the three ways in which heat is transferred. In convection‚ heat can be exchanged from one fluid to another. In this experiment‚ a heated plate is in contact with air inside a rectangular cross section duct. The air is heated by conduction from the heated plate. The density of the air decreases as it is heated and this makes the warm air rise. Colder air‚ which in turn is less dense‚ then replaces the warmer air‚ which has risen. The plate then heats this colder air‚ which will eventually

purpose of the experiment is to investigate heat transfer processes using the tubular heat exchanger which is a specific type of heat exchangers. Moreover‚ the primary goals are to compare the two types of flow cases‚ co-current flow and countercurrent flow as well as taking the analyses of their temperature changes through the graphical curves and observing the heat transmission via the operating apparatus. The working principles of the tubular heat exchanger is analyzed and the fluid temperate modifications

1. Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger – Working Principle The shell and tube heat exchanger comprises of two major things as its name state "Shell and Tube". The shell is a major vassel with quantities of tube inside it (Jalmood‚ n.d). Shell and tube heat exchangers are helpful for pressurized application. Heat is exchanged between the liquid in the tubes and the liquid inside the shell. Configuration of the tube pack is such that‚ all the section sides of the tube could be joined with a typical header
