  2. OUTLINE • Problem Definition • AvailableSolutions • ProposedSolution • Application Data • SolutionProcedure • ResultsandDiscussions • Conclusion

  3. PROBLEM DEFINITION Heat wasted during shower

  4. AVAILABLE SOLUTIONS • Gravity Film Heat Exchanger(GFX)

  5. PROPOSED SOLUTION Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger: • High Area/Volume Ratio • Low Cost compared to GFX • Easy to clean • Flexible Design

  6. APPLICATION DATA

  7. SOLUTION PROCEDURE InitialAssumptions: • Steadystateandsteadyflowprocesses • Negligiblepotentialandkineticenergychange • Equal inlet & outletmassflowrates • Singlepasscounterflowarrangement • Safetyfactor • Platedimensionsbased on MIT 522 [1] Lv, Lh, b, t, Dp, β, Φ

  8. SOLUTION PROCEDURE (Cont’d) Procedure: • IterationmethodtofindNt • U AeNt G Re Nu h U • Rechecking of Ntusingcalculated U • Pressuredropandpumppowercalculations • Comparison of ΔPlimitandΔpcalculated • Pumppowercalculations

  9. RESULTS and DISCUSSIONS Pressure Drop vs Number of Plates (Nt) Pressure Drop (Pa) Nt ranging between 3 and 11
