Separations: Effectively Designing Heat Exchangers
Monday, April 7, 2008 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Learn the fundamentals of condensation mechanisms and how they apply to condenser designs! Apply guidelines accurate performance assessment. This session provides a foundation for understanding the basis for thermal design of typical industrial heat exchangers.
Key Topics: Film Condensation on Vertical Surfaces ? Condensation on Horizontal Tube Bundles ? Interfacial Vapor Shear Effects on Condensation Heat Transfer ? Condensation Inside Horizontal Tubes ? Desuperheating and Subcooling ? Condensation with mixtures ? Condensation with Enhanced Heat Transfer Surfaces ? Two-Phase Pressure Drop ? Venting Inerts ? Drainage ? "War" Stories
Suggested Participants: Engineers who design and evaluate condenser equipment
