TE4092 Design of Heat Exchangers Syllabus:

TE4092 Design of Heat Exchangers Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1 To make students familiarize with the various types of heat exchangers
2 To explain the importance of thermal and stress analysis of heat exchangers
3 To inculcate the thermal design aspects of tubular heat exchangers
4 To provide the details of design aspects of compact heat exchangers
5 To explain the function and design aspects of condensers and cooling towers

UNIT- I FUNDAMENTALS OF HEAT EXCHANGER

Temperature distribution and its implications types–shell and tube heat exchangers– regenerators and recuperators – analysis of heat exchangers–LMTD and effectiveness method

UNIT- II STRESS ANALYSIS

Effect of turbulence – friction factor – pressure loss – stress in tubes – header sheets and pressure vessels – thermal stresses, shear stresses –types of failures.

UNIT- III DESIGN ASPECTS

Heat transfer and pressure loss – flow configuration – effect of baffles – effect of deviations from ideality – design of double pipe – finned tube – shell and tube heat exchangers – simulation of heat exchangers

UNIT- IV COMPACT AND PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS

Types–merits and demerits–design of compact heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers– performance influencing parameters– limitations.

UNIT- V CONDENSERS AND COOLING TOWERS

Design of surface and evaporative condensers–cooling tower –performance characteristics

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
