Heat exchanger

About this project

In a chemical process industry, we come across situations where heat is either given out or absorbed, fluids are either heated or cooled and whenever it is necessary to prevent the loss of heat from a hot vessel or a stream pipe. Therefore, in evaporators, driers, distillation units, furnaces and reactors, one of the major problems is that of heat transfer at the desired rate. The controlled of heat flow in the desired manner forms one of the most important sectors of chemical engineering. Heat transfer deals with the study of such rate of exchange of heat between hot and cold bodies. The hot and cold bodied are called source and receiver respectively. In all such cases, the temperature difference between a source and receiver acts as a driving force for heat transfer. Various types of heat exchangers equipment are used in the industries depending upon the applications involved (That means based on the
