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

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

3rd Year Thermodynamics Lab Report Mechanical Engineering Science 10 Forced Convection (in a cross flow heat exchanger) Summary The aim of this lab is to determine the average convective heat transfer coefficient for forced convection of a fluid (air) past a copper tube‚ which is used as a heat transfer model. Introduction The general definition for convection may be summarized to this definition "energy transfer between the surface and fluid due to temperature

1 ABSTRACT Distillation is a process by which one liquid can be separated from another liquid‚ or a liquid from a nonvolatile solid. In this experiment‚ the distillations of cyclohexane and toluene mixture were carried out. The purpose of this experiment is to compare the efficiency of simple distillation versus fractional distillation for separation of a mixture of toluene and cyclohexane. The mixture was first separated using simple distillation. A simple distillation apparatus was set

Abstract In the following project we are discussing about distillation. The operation of the distillation is employed for the purification of liquids from non-volatile impurities. The liquid is heated to the vapor phase and then is collected and recondensed to give back the pure liquid .The non-volatile impurities are left behind in the flask. Here our main focus will be at the fractional distillation. It is the process in which we separate the different components of a mixture on the basis of the

Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND A REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE 1. Background of the Study The progress of men has been continuously evolving from many years ago since they first populated the world. The use of different primitive tools from stone‚ bone‚ ivory and wood proves that knowledge and skill already exist; and that were the inherent tools of men. As time goes by‚ these knowledge and skill are endlessly developing that led to the progress and innovation of the human race and their resources

DISTILLATION HISTORY • Distilling was used as early as 3500 BC in Mesopotamia where perfume makers had developed it as a technique for isolating the scented oils of flowers and plants‚ what we know as “attar”. • Around 1100 AD wine was first distilled to make spirit by Irish monks who travelled around Europe. • The results of distillation were considered to have magical powers and this led to alcohol being called “water of life” or “usige beatha” in Gaelic‚ “eau de vie” in French

Experiment 2: Fractional Distillation of a Mixture of Two Unknowns Background: Boiling is a process familiar to anyone who has cooked pasta or brewed tea. As heat is applied to a pan of water‚ the temperature of the water increases until it reaches 100°C (212°F). At this temperature‚ additional heat causes the water to bubble vigorously as the liquid water is converted into gaseous water‚ or steam. Most organic liquids will behave in a similar fashion. On heating‚ the temperature of the liquid
