Natural Convection and Entropy Generation in Γ-Shaped Enclosure Using Lattice...A Behzadmehr
This work presents a numerical analysis of entropy generation in Γ-Shaped enclosure that was submitted to the natural convection process using a simple thermal lattice Boltzmann method (TLBM) with the Boussinesq approximation. A 2D thermal lattice Boltzmann method with 9 velocities, D2Q9, is used to solve the thermal flow problem. The simulations are performed at a constant Prandtl number (Pr = 0.71) and Rayleigh numbers ranging from 103 to 106 at the macroscopic scale (Kn = 10-4). In every case, an appropriate value of the characteristic velocity is chosen using a simple model based on the kinetic theory. By considering the obtained dimensionless velocity and temperature values, the distributions of entropy generation due to heat transfer and fluid friction are determined. It is found that for an enclosure with high value of Rayleigh number (i.e., Ra=105), the total entropy generation due to fluid friction and total Nu number increases with decreasing the aspect ratio.

Heat transfer in pipes is a distinctive kind of procedure employed in heat exchanger which transfers great
deal of heat because of the impact of capillary action and phase change heat transfer principle. Late improvement
in the heat pipe incorporates high thermal conductivity liquids like Nano liquids, fixed inside to extricate the most
extreme heat. This paper audits, impact of different factors, for example, thermal pipe tilt edge, charged measure
of working liquid, nano particles sort, size, and mass/volume part and its impact on the change of thermal
proficiency, thermal exchange limit and decrease in thermal protection. The Nano liquid arrangement and the
examination of its thermal attributes likewise have been investigated. The retained sun oriented vitality is
exchanged to the working liquid streaming in the pipe. The execution of the framework is affected by thermal
exchange from tube to working liquid, with least convective misfortunes, which must be considered as one of the
essential plan factor. In tube and channel streams, to improve the rate of heat exchange to the working liquid,
detached enlargement methods, for example, contorted tapes and swirl generators are employed from the fluid
flow path. The variation of heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in the pipe flow for water and water based
Al2O3 Nano fluids at different volume concentrations and twisted tapes are studied.
Benefit from improved water quality management. Maintaining good water quality ensures clean heat exchangers, corrosion free piping and equipment's life and maximize a plant's productivity.
Energy saving and pollution control in urea plant though prilling tower and o...Prem Baboo
In Prilling Tower the ambient air is used as the cooling air stream for this process. In hot days, the temperature of the product at the bottom of the tower are hot that cannot be packed directly.Prilling tower have variable opening louvers system, this helps to control air intake flow to prilling tower at bottom, which is very useful in rainy seasons as CRH (critical relative humidity) of urea becomes less than atmospheric humidity and prills tends to absorb moisture from air. Humidity of air along the height of tower increases due to evaporation of moisture from prills. Rate of change of humidity at the top is more than that at the bottom indicates most of the moisture is removed at the top when the prills is in the liquid stage. In addition, in hot/ humid days, the prills form lamps and cakes with each other. To overcome this problem the bulk flow cooler (BFC) or cooling fluidized dryer (CFD) are used.
A mathematical hydrodynamics, heat, and mass transfer between the urea and the cooling air is developed. The prilling tower is the source of pollution in form of dust and ammonia and that can be control by simple technic also energy saving in terms of ammonia saving, ammonia is the harmful pollutant if you vent and useful product if you recovers.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

CONTENTS
4. HEAT EXCHANGER
Heat exchangers are units designed to transfer
heat from a hot flowing stream to a cold flowing
stream.
Use :-
Heat exchangers and heat recovery is
often used to improve process efficiency.
5. TYPES OF HEAT EXCHANGER
There are three broad categories:
The Recuperator, or through-the-wall non
storing exchanger.
The Direct contact non storing exchanger
The Regenerator, accumulator, or heat storage
exchanger
11. Applications of Heat Exchangers
Heat Exchangers
prevent car engine
overheating and
increase efficiency
Heat exchangers
are used in Industry
for heat transfer
Heat
exchangers are
used in AC and
furnaces
12. Fouling, in technical language, it is the
general term of unwanted material which is
accumulating on surfaces, such as inside
pipes, machines or heat exchangers.
FOULING
13. Fouling occurs
when any type
of particles
both organic or
inorganic plug
or plate out on
heat transfer
surfaces
creating a
resistance to
transfer
energy.
14. Examples of components that may be subject to
fouling and the corresponding effects of fouling
Heat exchanger surfaces – reduces thermal efficiency,
increases temperature on the hot side, decreases
temperature on the cold side, corrosion, increases use of
cooling water;
Piping, flow channels –reduces flow, increases pressure
drop, increases energy expenditure, may cause flow
oscillations, cavitation; may increase flow velocity
elsewhere, may induce vibrations;
Ship hulls – increases fuel usage, reduces maximum
speed;
15. Examples of components that may be subject to
fouling and the corresponding effects of fouling
Turbines – reduces efficiency, increases probability of
failure;
Solar panels –decreases the electrical power generated;
Electrical heating element – increases temperature of
the element, increases corrosion, reduces lifespan;
Venturi tubes, orifice plates – inaccurate or incorrect
measurement of flow rate;
Pitot tubes in airplanes – inaccurate or incorrect
indication of airplane speed
16. TYPES OF FOULING
There are two broad categories :-
1. Macro fouling
2. Micro fouling
17. Macro Fouling
Macro fouling is caused by coarse matter
of either biological or inorganic origin, for
example industrially produced refuse. Such
matter enters into the cooling water circuit
through the cooling water pumps from
sources like the open sea, rivers or lakes.
18. Micro Fouling
As to micro fouling, distinctions are made between:
Scaling or precipitation fouling
Chemical reaction fouling
Bio-fouling
Particulate fouling
Corrosion fouling
Solidification fouling
Composite fouling
19. Scaling or precipitation fouling
Scaling is the most common type of fouling and is
commonly associated with inverse solubility salts such as
calcium carbonate (CaCO3) found in water. Reverse
solubility salts become less solute as the temperature
increases and thus deposit on the heat exchanger
surface. Scale is difficult to remove mechanically and
chemical cleaning may be required.
20. Particulate/Sedimentation Fouling
Sedimentation occurs when particles (e.g. dirt, sand or
rust) in the solution settle and deposit on the heat
transfer surface. Like scale, these deposits may be
difficult to remove mechanically depending on their
nature.
21. Corrosion Fouling
Results from a chemical reaction which involves the
heat exchanger surface material. Many metals such
as copper and aluminum form adherent oxide
coatings which serve to passivate the surface and
prevent further corrosion. Metal oxides which are
corrosion products exhibit quite a low thermal
conductivity and even relatively thin coatings of
oxides may significantly affect heat exchanger
performance.
22. Chemical Fouling
Fouling from chemical reactions in the fluid stream
which result in the deposition of material on the
heat exchanger surface. This type of fouling is
common for chemically sensitive materials when
the fluid is heated to temperatures near its
decomposition (degradation) temperature. Coking
of hydrocarbon material on the heat transfer
surface is also a common chemical fouling
problem.
24. Freezing Fouling
Occurs when a portion of the hot stream is cooled to near
the freezing point of one of its components. An example
in refineries is when paraffin solidifies from a cooled
petroleum product. Another example is freezing of
polymer products on the heat exchanger surface.
25. Biological Fouling:
Occurs when biological
organisms grow on heat
transfer surfaces. It is a
common fouling
mechanism where
untreated water is used
as the coolant. Problems
range from algae to other
microbes such as
barnacles and zebra
mussels. During seasons
when these microbes are
said to bloom, colonies
several millimeters deep
may grow across the
surface within hours,
impeding circulation near
the surface wall and
impacting heat transfer.

Macro vs Micro
27. CaCO3 + Sand = Concrete
Many
contaminants mix
together to form
larger deposits
Example-
CaCO3 mixed
with sand
makes
concrete.
It is these large
particles that
create problems
28. Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
• Prone to fouling
especially during
low flow or
downturn.
• Particles tend to
settle with laminar
flow.
29. Typically no, as they do not precipitate out of solution until they
reach 120F, or if the ph. is out of balance.
The Bigger the Particle….The Bigger the Problem
Are dissolved solids and particles under 40
micron a problem?
31. Fouling on Mars
NASA Mars Exploration
Rovers experienced Abiotic
fouling of solar panels by
dust particles from the
Martian atmosphere.
Some of the deposits
subsequently cleaned off.
This illustrates the universal
nature of the fouling
phenomena.
32. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
It is important to consider fouling in the design of a heat
exchanger.
There are different methods to provide the added heat transfer
area needed to account for the expected fouling and maximize
runtime between cleaning.
For shell and tube heat exchanger, the common method is to
use fouling factors. For other types of heat exchangers, excess
heat transfer area is often used. However, fouling is a self-
fulfilling prophecy and the selection of fouling factors or excess
area must be done carefully.
33. Fouling Factor
The performance of heat exchangers usually deteriorates
with time as a result of accumulation of deposits on heat
transfer surfaces.
The layer of deposits represents additional resistance to
heat transfer and causes the rate of heat transfer in a heat
exchanger to decrease.
The net effect of these accumulations on heat transfer is
represented by a fouling factor (Rf), which is a measure of
the thermal resistance introduced by fouling.
34. The fouling factor depends on the operating
temperature and the velocity of the fluids, as well as
the length of service.
Fouling increases with increasing temperature and
decreasing velocity.
For an unfinned shell-and-tube heat exchanger :
Rf, i and Rf, o are the fouling factors
Fouling Factor
36. Economic and environmental importance
of fouling
Fouling is ubiquitous and generates tremendous
operational losses, not unlike corrosion. For
example, one estimate puts the losses due to
fouling of heat exchangers in industrialized
nations to be about 0.25% of their GDP.
Another analysis estimated the economical loss
due to boiler and turbine fouling in China
utilities at 4.68 billion dollars, which is about
0.169% the country GDP .
37. FOULING CONTROL
Plate and frame heat exchangers can be disassembled and
cleaned periodically. Tubular heat exchangers can be cleaned
by such methods as acid cleaning, sandblasting, high-pressure
water jet, bullet cleaning, or drill rods.
In large-scale cooling water systems for heat exchangers,
water treatment such as purification, addition of chemicals,
and testing, is used to minimize fouling of the heat exchange
equipment. Other water treatment is also used in steam
systems for power plants, etc. to minimize fouling and
corrosion of the heat exchange and other equipment.
A variety of companies have started using water borne
oscillations technology to prevent biofouling. Without the use
of chemicals, this type of technology has helped in providing a
low-pressure drop in heat exchangers.
