The document describes a proposed heat exchanger design project to recover waste heat from laundry processes. Dirty wash water at 67°C is currently dumped, while clean water is heated to 70°C using an electric water heater. It is proposed to install a heat exchanger to preheat the water and reduce electricity costs. The heat exchanger design must be optimized to maximize annual savings over a 10-year period considering capital costs, operating costs, and a 10% interest rate. Several heat exchanger concepts will be analyzed and the optimal design selected.

Modeling and Fluid Flow Analysis of Wavy Fin Based Automotive RadiatorIJERA Editor
In continuous technological development, an automotive industry has increased the demand for high efficiency engines. A high efficiency engines in not only based on its performance but also for better fuel economy and less emission rate. Radiator is one of the important parts of the internal combustion engine cooling system. The manufacturing cost of the radiator is 20 percent of the whole cost of the engine. So improving the performance and reducing cost of radiators are necessary research. For higher cooling capacity of radiator, addition of fins is one of the approaches to increase the cooling rate of the radiator. In addition, heat transfer fluids at air and fluid side such as water and ethylene glycol exhibit very low thermal conductivity. As a result there is a need for new and innovative heat transfer fluids, known as “Nano fluid” for improving heat transfer rate in an automotive radiator. Recently there have been considerable research findings highlighting superior heat transfer performances of nanofluids about 15-25% of heat transfer enhancement can be achieved by using types of nanofluids. With these specific characteristics, the size and weight of an automotive car radiator can be reduced without affecting its heat transfer performance. An automotive radiator (Wavy fin type) model is modeled on modeling software CATIA V5 and performance evaluation is done on pre-processing software ANSYS 14.0. The temperature and velocity distribution of coolant and air are analyzed by using Computational fluid dynamics environment software CFX. Results have shown that the rate of heat transfer is better when nano fluid (Si C + water) is used as coolant, than the conventional coolant.
DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HELICAL TUBE IN COIL TYPE HEAT EXCHANGERhemantnehete
Heat exchangers are the important engineering systems with wide variety of applications including power plants, nuclear reactors, refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, heat recovery systems, chemical processing and food industries. Helical coil configuration is very effective for heat exchangers and chemical reactors because they can accommodate a large heat transfer area in a small space, with high heat transfer coefficients. This project focus on an increase in the effectiveness of a heat exchanger and analysis of various parameters that affect the effectiveness of a heat exchanger and also deals with the performance analysis of heat exchanger by varying various parameters like number of coils, flow rate and temperature. The results of the helical tube heat exchanger are compared with the straight tube heat exchanger in both parallel and counter flow by varying parameters like temperature, flow rate of cold water and number of turns of helical coil.
Exergy analysis of inlet water temperature of condenserIJERA Editor
The most of the power plant designed by energetic performance criteria based on first law of thermodynamics. According to First law of thermodynamics energy analysis cannot be justified the losses of energy.The method of exergy analysis is well suited to describe true magnitude of waste and loss to be determined. Such information can be used in the design of new energy efficient system and increasing the efficiency of existing systems.In the present study exergy analysis of the shell and tube condenser is carried out. As the condenser is one of the major components of the power plant, so it is necessary to operate the condenser efficiently under the various operating condition to increase the overall efficiency of the power plant. In the present study inlet temperature of the condenser is optimized using the exergy method. The main aim of paper is to be find out causes of energy destruction that can be helpful to redesign the system and to increase the efficiency
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS TO OPTIMIZE THE HEAT TRANSFER RATE OF TUBE-IN-TUBE HELICAL...Netha Jashuva
Heat exchanger is a device which is used to transfer heat between two fluids which may be in direct contact or may flow separately in two tubes or channels. We find numerous applications of heat exchangers in day today life. For example condensers and evaporators used in refrigerators and air conditioners. In thermal power plant heat exchangers are used in boilers, condensers, air coolers and chilling towers etc. Similarly the heat exchangers used in automobile industries are in the form of radiators and oil coolers in engines. Heat exchangers are also used in large scale in chemical and process industries for transferring the heat between two fluids which are at a single or two states. Main aim of our project is to maximize the heat transfer rate with minimum power loss. We know that with increase in Reynolds number Nusselt number increases hence the heat transfer coefficient. But with increase in Reynolds number pumping power also increases but increase in power requirement is more compared to increases in heat transfer coefficient. So there exist a particular Reynolds number or (Dean Number) for which both the curve intersects, which is the optimum point for that particular (D/d) condition.

In a laundry, 67ºC dirty wash water is dumped into the drain, and 70ºC clean water
is required. Presently 15ºC water is heated in an electric hot water heater, and the
electricity cost is given by AEE. The water is required at a rate of 5000 Kg/h, 12
hours per day, 312 days/yr. To conserve energy it is proposed to install a heat
exchanger to preheat the feed to the electric water heater.
The interest rate to amortize the investment over 10 years is 10% per annum. Taxes
and insure are expected to have a fixed cost of $500 per annum plus $50/yr per
square meter of heat exchanger surface. Design the heat exchanger and the
corresponding net annual savings.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ENGINEERING DESIGN
• Global warming is often viewed as problem with no solution due to the constant need of natural
resources which include: petroleum, natural gas, and other types of fuels for the creation of
energy. Therefore as environmentally options various designs have been included in diverse
industries to contribute as a partial solution to this problem.
• A main factor that increases global warming is the use of fossil fuels for combustion. The
increasing rate of CO2 in the environment that we live in affects a large mass of population. The
negative effects of this increasing problems sometimes result in health issues.
• The adaptation of thermal designs, as heat exchangers help reduce, in great percent the energy
that has to be used for a processes in industries that depend on heating fluids, gases for a specific
process.

Recommendations
26
• To invest in a Heat Exchanger, performance calculations must be
realized, taking account the acquisition capacity of each client.
• Choosing maximum capacity will render maximum benefits economically
and environmentally.
• If maximum capacity is not attainable, the parallel flow heat exchanger is
an alternative for low initial investment capability due to the fact it
renders a lower cost.
• All types of Heat exchangers are beneficial because it will always result
in economical return on the initial investment.
