Heat Transfer by Conduction W/m.K W/m2
Calculate the heat flux within a copper rod that heated in one of its ends to a temperature of 100 oC while the other end is kept at 25 oC. The rode length is 10 m and diameter is 1 cm. Example
Example An industrial freezer is designed to operate with an internal air temperature of -20 oC when external air temperature is 25 oC. The walls of the freezer are composite construction, comprising of an inner layer of plastic with thickness of 3 mm and has a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m.K. The outer layer of the freezer is stainless steel with 1 mm thickness and has a thermal conductivity of 16 W/m.K. An insulation layer is placed between the inner and outer layer with a thermal conductivity of 15 W/m.K. what will be the thickness of this insulation material that allows a heat transfer of 15 W/m2 to pass through the three layers, assuming the area normal to heat flow is 1 m2?

DESIGN STANDARDS FOR TUBULAR HEAT EXCHANGERS • Size of heat exchanger is represented by the shell inside diameter or bundle diameter and the tube length • Type and naming of the heat exchanger is designed by three letters single pass shell The first one describes the stationary head type The second one refers to the shell type The third letter shows the rear head type TYPE AES refers to Split-ring floating head exchanger with removable channel and cover.

Shell and Tube design procedure • Kern’s Method This method was based on experimental work on commercial exchangers with standard tolerances and will give a reasonably satisfactory prediction of the heat-transfer coefficient for standard designs. • Bell’s method This method is designed to predict the local heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop by incorporating the effect of leak and by-passing inside the shell and also can be used to investigate the effect of constructional tolerance and the use of seal strip
