OBJECTIVE:

• To enable the students to learn heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation and heat transfer equipments like evaporator and heat exchanger

UNIT I		15

Importance of heat transfer in Chemical Engineering operations - Modes of heat transfer - Fourier’s law of heat conduction - one dimensional steady state heat conduction equation for flat plate, hollow cylinder, - Heat conduction through a series of resistances - Thermal conductivity measurement; effect of temperature on thermal conductivity; Heat transfer in extended surfaces.

UNIT II		15

Concepts of heat transfer by convection - Natural and forced convection, analogies between transfer of momentum and heat - Reynold’s analogy, Prandtl and Coulburn analogy. Dimensional analysis in heat transfer, heat transfer coefficient for flow through a pipe, flow past flat plate, flow through packed beds.

UNIT III		15

Heat transfer to fluids with phase change - heat transfer from condensing vapours, drop wise and film wise condensation, Nusselt equation for vertical and horizontal tubes, condensation of superheated vapours, Heat transfer to boiling liquids - mechanism of boiling, nucleate boiling and film boiling.

UNIT IV		15

Theory of evaporation - single effect and multiple effect evaporation - Design calculation for single and multiple effect evaporation. Radiation heat transfer - Black body radiation, Emissivity, Stefan - Boltzmann law, Plank’s law, radiation between surfaces.

UNIT V		9

Log mean temperature difference - Single pass and multipass heat exchangers; plate heat exchangers; use of correction factor charts; heat exchangers effectiveness; number of transfer unit- Chart for different configurations - Fouling factors

TOTAL : 75 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: At the end of this course,

• The students would have knowledge in various heat transfer methodology in process engineering.
• To design heat transfer equipments such as furnace, boilers, heat exchangers evaporation
