6 CHAPTER I PREFACE Heat transfer is one of the most decisive factors in the operation of a chemical plant. Quantitative solution of heat transfer problems are generally based on the energy balance and the estimated heat transfer rate. Heat transfer will occur when there is a temperature difference between two objects. The heat will move from a high-temperature object to a lower temperature object. Heat can move in 3 ways ie conduction, convection, and radiation. In the event of conduction, heat moves along the path without the need of the medium to move. The heat moves from one particle to another in the medium. Convection events occur when heat transfer is carried by fluid flow. Thermodynamically, convection is expressed as the enthalpy stream, not heat flow. In the event of radiation, energy travels through electromagnetic waves. There are several common heat exchangers used in industry. These heat exchangers include double pipe, shell and tube, plate-frame, spiral, and lamella. The plate and frame type heat exchanger was developed in the late 1950s. Many researches have been done on this type of heat exchanger. Generally, water is used as the operating fluid. In this lab, the fluid used is air. Air is used as an operating fluid in an effort to optimize the heat carried by flue gas from a plant's operation. This practicum is also one of the more in-depth review efforts on flue gas. The result of practicum expected to be correlation between Reynolds number with Nusselt number. HXG 2016/PW 6

10 II. Measurement Methods The experimental parameters were obtained from thermocouples mounted on the inlet/outlet stream of the hot and cold fluid. The measurement of experimental variables is obtained from fluid flow rate measurement using calibrated flowmeter. Calibration is done by using wet-test meter. Observed parameters are: 1. Flue gas inlet temperature (T h,i ) 2. Flue gas outlet temperature (T h,o ) 3. Cold air inlet temperature (T c,i ) 4. Cold air outlet temperature (T c,o ) 5. Flue gas inlet wall temperature (T wh,i ) 6. Flue gas outlet wall temperature (T wh,o ) 7. Cold air inlet wall temperature (T wc,i ) 8. Cold air outlet wall temperature (T wc,o ) Variables used in the experiment are flue gas flowrate and cold air flow rate. HXG 2016/PW 10

13 APPENDIX B CALCULATION PROCEDURE B.1 Heat Transfer Rate (Q) The heat transfer rate of hot fluid and cold fluid is calculated using below formula. qhot = mhot. cphot. (Thot,in Thot,out) qcold = mcold. cpcold. (Tcold,in Tcold,out) B.2 Calculating q loss Heat dissipated to surroundings is shown as qloss. q q The value of thermal conductivity, thickness, and cross-sectional area of kaowool is obtained from literature. B.3. Calculating Heat Transfer Rate of Operation (q, operation ) q operation for each fluid is shown below. qoperasi,hot = qhot qloss qoperasi,cold = qcold qloss B.4. Calculating ΔT lmtd for Cross-Flow and Counter-Current Flow Heat Exchanger The temperature difference used is called log mean temperature difference, which is calculated using below formula: Equation above can only be used for counter-current flow heat exchanger. Above equation can be used for cross-flow type of heat exchanger by multiplying it with correction factor. Tlmtd,crossflow = Tlmtd,countercurrent. F ore si HXG 2016/PW 13

14 To find the correction factor from above graph, the value of Z and ɳ need to be calculated first using below formulas. The correction factor is obtained from Figure 12. Figure 3. Correction factor for ΔT for cross-flow type of heat exchanger (McCabe, 1993). B.5 Calculating Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient (U) Overall heat transfer coefficient can be calculated using two methods: empiric and theoretic. Theoretic overall heat transfer coefficient is calculated using following formula: x k h h h c : plate wall thickness : thermal conductivity of material : convective heat transfer coefficient of hot fluid : convective heat transfer coefficient of cold fluid Empiric overall heat transfer coefficient is determined using below formula: HXG 2016/PW 14

15 B.6 Determining Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient (h) The convective heat transfer coefficient is determined by using following formula: The temperature difference used in the calculation is called log mean temperature difference, which stands for the difference between the temperature of fluid and temperature of heat exchanger wall. B.7 Calculating Nusselt Number and Reynold Number The Reynold number is determined using following formula: h : convective heat transfer coefficient D : Plate equivalent diameter k : fluid thermal conductivity The Reynold number is determined using following formula: HXG 2016/PW 15

16 ρ : fluid density v : fluid flowrate µ : fluid viscosity D : diameter B.8 Determining the Correlation between Nusselt Number and Reynold Number Mathematically, the goal of this experiment is to find the value of a and b in below equation: Nu = a Re b The values of constant a and b can be determined from the regression between ln Nusselt and ln Reynold. From the experiment result, two plots were obtained for: 1) Nusselt number for hot fluid to Reynolds number, 2) Nusselt number for cold fluid to Reynolds number.
