  3. Heat Exchangers:Design Considerations Chapter 11

  4. Counterflow Parallel Flow 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 • Simplest configuration. • Superior performance associated with counter flow.

  5. Finned-Both Fluids Unmixed Unfinned-One Fluid Mixed the Other Unmixed • Cross-flow Heat Exchangers • 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. • Heat exchanger performance is influenced by mixing.

  6. Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers One Shell Pass and One Tube Pass • Baffles are used to establish a cross-flow and to induce turbulent mixing of the shell-side fluid, both of which enhance convection. • The number of tube and shell passes may be varied, e.g.: One Shell Pass, Two Tube Passes Two Shell Passes, Four Tube Passes

  7. Compact Heat Exchangers • Widely used to achieve large heat rates per unit volume, particularly when one or both fluids is a gas. • 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)

  8. Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient • 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 andhused to designate the coldand hotfluids, respectively, • the most general expression for the overall coefficient is:

  9. Assuming an adiabatic tip, the fin efficiency is

  10. Evaluation of depends on the heat exchanger type. A Methodology for Heat Exchanger Design Calculations - The 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: • Counter-Flow Heat Exchanger:

  11. Parallel-Flow Heat Exchanger: • Note that Tc,ocannot exceed Th,ofor a PF HX, but can do so for a CF HX. • For equivalent values of UA and inlet temperatures, • Shell-and-Tube and Cross-Flow Heat Exchangers:

  12. 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,

  13. Case (a): Ch>>Cc or h is a condensing vapor • Negligible or no change in • Case (b): Cc>>Ch or c is an evaporating liquid • Negligible or no change in Special Operating Conditions • Case (c): Ch=Cc.

  14. F correction factor depends on the geometry of theheat exchanger and the inlet and outlettemperatures of the hot and coldfluid streams. F for common cross-flow and shell-and-tube heatexchanger configurations is given in the figure versus two temperatureratios P and R defined as 1 and 2 inlet and outlet T and t shell- andtube-side temperatures F = 1 for a condenser or boiler Use of a Correction Factor

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

  16. Heat exchanger effectiveness, : Definitions • Maximum possible heat rate: • Will the fluid characterized by Cmin or Cmax experience the largest possible temperature change in transit through the HX? • Why is Cminand not Cmaxused in the definition of qmax?

  17. Number of Transfer Units, NTU • A dimensionless parameter whose magnitude influences HX performance:

  18. Cr Heat Exchanger Relations • Performance Calculations:

  19. For Cr = 0, to all HX types. • Design Calculations: • For all heat exchangers,

  20. Radiation: Processes and Properties-Basic Principles and Definitions- Chapter 12 12.1 through 12.8

  21. Attention is focused on thermal radiation, whose origins are associated • with emission from matter at an absolute temperature • Consider a solid of temperature • in an evacuated enclosure whose walls • are at a fixed temperature • What changes occur if • What changes occur if General Considerations • Emission is due to oscillations and transitions of the many electrons that comprise • matter, which are, in turn, sustained by the thermal energy of the matter. • Emission corresponds to heat transfer from the matter and hence to a reduction • in its thermal energy. • Radiation may also be intercepted and absorbed by matter, resulting in its increase • in thermal energy.

  22. For an opaque solid or liquid, emission originates from atoms and molecules within 1 of the surface. • Emission from a gas or a semitransparent solid or liquid is a volumetric • phenomenon. Emission from an opaque solid or liquid is treated as a surface phenomenon. • The dual nature of radiation: • In some cases, the physical manifestations of radiation may be explained by viewing it as particles (aka photons or quanta). • In other cases, radiation behaves as an electromagnetic wave.

  23. In all cases, radiation can be characterized by a wavelength and frequency which are related through the speed at which radiation propagates in the medium of interest: For propagation in a vacuum,

  24. Thermal radiation is confined to the infrared, visible and ultraviolet regions of the • spectrum . The Electromagnetic Spectrum • The amount of radiation emitted by an opaque • surface varies with wavelength, and we may • speak of the spectral distribution over all • wavelengths or of monochromatic/spectral • components associated with particular wavelengths.

  25. Radiation Heat Fluxes and Material Properties • → reflectivity → fraction of irradiation (G) reflected. • a → absorptivity → fraction of irradiation absorbed. • t → transmissivity → fraction of irradiation transmitted through the medium. • r + a + t = 1 for any medium. r + a = 1 for an opaque medium.

  26. Direction may be represented in a spherical • coordinate system characterized by the zenith • or polar angle and the azimuthal angle . • The amount of radiation emitted from a surface, • and propagating in a particular direction, • is quantified in terms of a differential • solid angle associated with the direction. unit element of surface on a hypothetical sphere and normal to the direction. Directional Considerations and Radiation Intensity • In general, radiation fluxes can be determined • only from knowledge of the directional and • spectral nature of the radiation. • Radiation emitted by a surface will be in all • directions associated with a hypothetical • hemisphere about the surface and is • characterized by a directional distribution.

  27. The solid angle has units of steradians (sr). • Spectral Intensity: A quantity used to specify the radiant heat flux within • a unit solid angle about a prescribed direction and within a unit • wavelength interval about a prescribed wavelength • The solid angle associated with a complete hemisphere is

  28. The spectral intensity associated with emission from a surface element • in the solid angle about and the wavelength interval about • is defined as: • The rationale for defining the radiation flux in terms of the projected surface area • stems from the existence of surfaces for which, to a good approximation, • is independent of direction. Such surfaces are termed diffuse, and the radiation is • said to beisotropic. • The projected area is how would appear if observed along . • What is the projected area for ? • What is the projected area for ? • The spectral heat rate and heat flux associated with emission from • are, respectively,

  29. Relation of Intensity to Emissive Power, Irradiation, and Radiosity • The spectral emissive power corresponds to spectral emission • over all possible directions. • The total emissive power corresponds to emission over all directions • and wavelengths. • The spectral intensity of radiation incident on • a surface, , is defined in terms of the unit • solid angle about the direction of incidence, • the wavelength interval about , • and the projected area of the receiving • surface, • For a diffuse surface, emission is isotropic and

  30. The spectral irradiation is then: and the total irradiation is • How may and G be expressed if the incident radiation is diffuse? • The radiosity of an opaque surface accounts for all of the radiation leaving the • surface in all directions and may include contributions from both reflection and • emission.

  31. How may and J be expressed if the surface emits and reflects diffusely? • With designating the spectral intensity associated with radiation • emitted by the surface and the reflection of incident radiation, the spectral • radiosity is: and the total radiosity is • How can the intensities that appear in the preceding equations be quantified?

  32. Blackbody Radiation and Its Intensity • The Blackbody • An idealization providing limits on radiation emission and absorption by matter. • For a prescribed temperature and wavelength, no surface can emit more radiation than a blackbody: the ideal emitter. • A blackbody is a diffuse emitter. • A blackbody absorbs all incident radiation: the ideal absorber. • The Isothermal Cavity (Hohlraum). (a) After multiple reflections, virtually all radiation entering the cavity is absorbed. • Emission from the aperture is the maximum possible emission achievable for • the temperature associated with the cavity and is diffuse.

  33. The cumulative effect of radiation emission from and reflection off • the cavity wall is to provide diffuse irradiation corresponding to • emission from a blackbody for any surface in the cavity. • Does this condition depend on whether the cavity surface is highly reflecting or absorbing?

  34. First radiation constant: Second radiation constant: The Spectral (Planck) Distribution of Blackbody Radiation • The spectral distribution of the blackbody emissive power (determined • theoretically and confirmed experimentally) is

  35. (and Il,b) varies continuously with and increases with T. • The distribution is characterized by a maximum for which is given by Wien’s displacement law: • The fractional amount of total blackbody emission appearing at lower wavelengths increases with increasing T.

  36. the Stefan-Boltzmann law, where • The fraction of total blackbody emission that is in a prescribed wavelength • interval or band is The Stefan-Boltzmann Law and Band Emission • The total emissive powerof a blackbody is obtained by integrating the Planck • distribution over all wavelengths. where, in general, and numerical results are given in Table 12.2.

  38. Note ability to readily determine and its relation to the maximum intensity from the 3rd and 4th columns, respectively. • If emission from the sun may be approximated as that from a blackbody at 5800 K, at what wavelength does peak emission occur? • Would you expect radiation emitted by a blackbody at 800 K to be discernible by the naked eye? • As the temperature of a blackbody is increased, what color would be the first to be discerned by the naked eye?

  39. Surface Emissivity • Radiation emitted by a surface may be determined by introducing a property • (the emissivity) that contrasts its emission with the ideal behavior of a blackbody • at the same temperature. • The definition of the emissivity depends upon one’s interest in resolving • directional and/or spectral features of the emitted radiation, in contrast • to averages over all directions (hemispherical) and/or wavelengths (total). • The spectral, directional emissivity: • The spectral, hemispherical emissivity (a directional average):

  40. The total, hemispherical emissivity (a directional and spectral average): • To a reasonable approximation, the hemispherical emissivity is equal to • the normal emissivity. • Representative values of the total, normal emissivity: • Note: • Low emissivity of polished metals and increasing emissivity for unpolished and oxidized surfaces. • Comparatively large emissivities of nonconductors.

  41. Note decreasing with increasing for metals and different behavior for nonmetals. Why does increase with increasing for tungsten and not for aluminum oxide? • Representative spectral variations: • Representative temperature variations:

  42. Reflection from the medium • Absorption within the medium • Transmission through the medium • In contrast to the foregoing volumetric effects, the response of an opaque material • to irradiation is governed by surface phenomena and Radiation balance Response to Surface Irradiation: Absorption, Reflection and Transmission • There may be three responses of a semitransparent medium to irradiation: • The wavelength of the incident radiation, as well as the nature of the material, • determine whether the material is semitransparent or opaque. • Are glass and water semitransparent or opaque?

  43. Unless an opaque material is at a sufficiently high temperature to emit visible • radiation, its color is determined by the spectral dependence of reflection in • response to visible irradiation. • What may be said about reflection for a whitesurface? A black surface? • Why are leaves green?

  44. The absorptivity is approximately independent of the surface temperature, but if the irradiation corresponds to emission from a blackbody, why does depend on the temperature of the blackbody? Absorptivity of an Opaque Material • The spectral, directional absorptivity: Assuming negligible temperature dependence, • The spectral, hemispherical absorptivity: • To what does the foregoing result simplify, if the irradiation is diffuse? If the surface is diffuse? • The total, hemispherical absorptivity: • If the irradiation corresponds to emission from a blackbody, how may the above expression be rewritten?

  45. Reflectivity of an Opaque Material • The spectral, directional reflectivity: Assuming negligible temperature • dependence: • The spectral, hemispherical reflectivity: • To what does the foregoing result simplify if the irradiation is diffuse? If the surface is diffuse? • The total, hemispherical reflectivity: • Limiting conditions of diffuse and • specular reflection. Polished and rough surfaces.

  46. Note strong dependence of • Is snow a highly reflective substance? White paint?

  47. Transmissivity • The spectral, hemispherical transmissivity: Assuming negligible temperature dependence, Note shift from semitransparent to opaque conditions at large and small wavelengths. • The total, hemispherical transmissivity: • For a semitransparent medium,

  48. Kirchhoff’s Law • Kirchhoff’s law equates the total, hemispherical emissivity of a surface to its • total, hemispherical absorptivity: However, conditions associated with its derivation are highly restrictive: Irradiation of the surface corresponds to emission from a blackbody at the same temperature as the surface. • But, Kirchhoff’s law may be applied to the spectral, directional properties • without restriction: Why are there no restrictions on use of the foregoing equation? How might we take advantage of the foregoing equation?
