ME 648 Heat Exchangers-Theory and Applications
Transport properties and dimensionless parameters; heat exchanger classification, heat exchanger design; UA-LMTD and ,-NTU methods; fouling; header design; flow regimes in two-phase heat transfer; pressure drop and heat transfer correlations for boiling and condensation. Applications include double pipe heat exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers, compact heat exchangers, evaporators, and condensers. Prerequisites: ME 548 or Graduate Student Status.
