Crystallization Fouling With Enhanced Heat Transfer Surfaces

Fouling and Fouling Mitigation on Heat Exchanger Surfaces

Heat and Mass Transfer Operations - Crystallization

This chapter presents an overview of industrial crystallization both from a fundamental, scientific perspective and with an eye on the application of crystallization as a separation process in industrial processes. Crystallization as a separation process yields a solid product from a solution or a melt. The process itself, the product characteristics and the temporal behavior are determined by ...

Heat Transfer from Finned Surfaces

conv hAs (Ts T ) where As is the heat transfer surface area and h is the convection heat transfer coefficient. When the temperatures Ts and T are fixed by design considerations, as is often the case, there are two ways to increase the rate of heat transfer: to increase the convection heat transfer coefficient h or to increase the surface area As. Increasing h may require the installation of a p...

Enhanced pool-boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux on femtosecond laser processed stainless steel surfaces

In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of pool boiling heat transfer on multiscale (micro/ nano) functionalized metallic surfaces. Heat transfer enhancement in metallic surfaces is very important for large scale high heat flux applications like in the nuclear power industry. The multiscale structures were fabricated via a femtosecond laser surface process (FLSP) technique, whic...

Analysis of Heat Transfer Fouling by Dry-Grind Maize Thin Stillage Using an Annular Fouling Apparatus

Cereal Chem. 83(2):121–126 In dry-grind processing to produce ethanol from corn, unfermented solids are removed from ethanol by distillation and dried to produce distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), an animal food. Fouling of thin stillage evaporators has been identified as an important energy consumption issue in dry-grind facilities. Using an annular fouling apparatus, four batches o...
