HEAT PROCESSESHP5
Noncircular profiles and equivalent diameter of pipe. Compact and plate heat exchangers. Hydraulic and thermal analysis of chevron type heat exchanger (H.Martin). Heat transfer enhancement (static mixers, centrifugal forces, Deans vortices). Flow invertors. Performance criteria (PEC). Fouling (example: crude oil fouling - Polley model and diagrams).
Noncircular ductsHP5
Eliptical, rectangular ducts, channels with longitudinal fins
Multiply connected regions (annular, tube bundle in shell and tube exchanger)
Noncircular ductsHP5
General cross section of a channel can be characterized by equivalent hydraulic diameter Dh, that is used in definition of Reynolds and Nusselt numbers.

Equivalent diameter is used also in laminar flows, but different correlations for different cross sections must be used (from this point of view the laminar regime is more complicated).
Modified definitions of equivalent diameter exist for specific classes of cross sections (e.g. average distance from the point of maximum velocity in triangles, or square root of the cross section area, see next slides).
At turbulent flows the same correlations for pressure drop (friction factor) and heat transfer (Nusselt number) can be used. Correlations for circular pipe are usually used, however the cross sections with sharp corners (triangles, cusped ducts) lead to error up to 35% .

Corrugated plates Heat exchangers HP5
How to calculate pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient in plate heat exchangers with corrugated heat transfer walls?
Corrugated plates paper Martin Holger HP5
Applications of CFD is rather demanding and not very accurate.
According to my opinion the best way how to calculate pressure drop and heat transfer in heat exchangers with corrugated plates is the semiempirical method described by Martin Holger in Chemical Engineering and Processing, 1996.
Pay attention to the following features:
How to blend results for friction factors corresponding to different flow patterns (longitudinal and furrow flows)
How to apply analogy between momentum and heat transfer (how to predict heat transfer from friction factors). Quite unique feature is the Leveque analogy.

Functions 0 1 are defined separately for laminar and turbulent regime
Flow along walleys (like in a straight pipe)
Flow in a wavy channel, characterized by separation of vortices at down and up-hills
L is the distance between two crossings (and not the length of plate). This distance is quite small so that the thermal boundary layer is thin enough to fulfill the Leveque’s assumption (it is assumed that the boundary layer is restored at each crossing)
Is it really Leveque? Yes, because at laminar flow

HP5 HT enhancement
How to increase heat transfer coefficient at internal channel flows (in pipes)?
1. Artificial wall roughness, porous wall
2. Fins, grooves, dimples
3. Inserts (static mixers, twisted tape, wire mesh, invertors)
4. Centrifugal forces (coiled tubes, bends)
5. Vibration, ultrasound, nanoparticles…
HP5 HT enhancementHeat transfer augmentation (Nu increase – desirable effect) is usually accompanied by pressure drop increase (undesirable effect). There exist many different PEC (Performance Evaluation Criteria) characterising efficiency of considered modification (only those giving PEC>1 should be used) .

Nu f
This PEC follows from comparison of the two identical pipes (the same diameter and length), one pipe is empty (Fanning friction factor f0) the second one is modified by inserts, fins,… (higher f). So that the pumping power will be the same the flowrate in the augmented pipe (f>f0) must be decreased

HP5 HT enhancement –wall
Heat transfer can be increased by a modification of wall such that the heat transfer surface is extended (fins, dimples), and the thermal boundary layer is disrupted (for example by vortices generated at protrusions or dimples).
Only a little bit controversial enhancement by dimples will be presented in next slides.

Drag reduction by dimples? – A complementary experimental/numerical investigation
HP5 HT enhancement – inserts
Inserts (static mixers, twisted tape) extend heat transfer surface (as far as a good thermal contact with pipe wall is ensured) and generate secondary flows diminishing thermal boundary layer. Inserts are effective first of all in laminar flow regime (PEC is highest at low Re), but heat transfer enhancement in turbulent regime is also significant.
Wire coils disrupt thermal boundary layer (suitable for laminar flows), wire mesh affects the main flow and is effective in turbulent flows. Advantage: Tiny wire at wall has only small effect upon pressure drop.
What is surprising: inserts usually suppress fouling!
HP5 HT enhancement SM Kenics

Static mixers (Kenics, Sulzer,Helax,…) serve for mixing of liquids but also for the heat transfer intensification.
Standard solution consists in filling the whole tube by SM elements (tight arrangement).
For Kenics SM the heat transfer at laminar flows is increased as (see Joshi, Nigam, Cibulski)

HP5 HT– centrifugal forces
Centrifugal forces in coiled pipes (spirals, helically coiled pipes) create secondary flows similar to vortices induced e.g. by a twisted tape. Local effect of centrifugal forces and secondary flow appear also in bends (for example U-tube acts as a partial flow inverter).
Advantage: Increased Nu is not accompanied by too large pressure drop increase. Positive effect is significant reduction of fouling (spiral heat exchangers are suitable for dirty fluids, fibrous pulps,…). Residence time characteristics are improved (residence times of fluid particles moving at axis of pipe and in vicinity of wall are not so different as in a straight pipe).
Disadvantage: Effect of centrifugal forces disappears at creeping flow, therefore this technique cannot be applied for highly viscous liquids (Re<10)

HP5 Extended surfaces
Previous analysis was concentrated upon the heat transfer enhancement by increasing heat transfer coefficient. Inserts or modifications of pipe walls increases at the same time the heat transfer surface, however this additional surface can be fully accounted for only if the thermal resistance of inserts or fins is negligible.
