Parameter Study of Geometrically Induced Flow Maldistribution in Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHEs) are the most common type of heat exchanger in preheat trains (PHT) of oil refineries and in chemical process plants. Most commercial design software tools for STHE assume uniform ...
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Nucleation Site Density and Heat Transfer During Dropwise Condensation on Thin Hydrophobic Coatings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dropwise condensation (DWC) has the potential to enhance heat transfer compared to filmwise condensation (FWC). The heat transfer rates achieved by DWC depend on the drop size distribution, which is influenced by nucleation ...
