The paper deals with design and simulation of nonlinear adaptive control of a shell and tube heat exchanger. The method is based on factorization of the controller on a nonlinear static part and an adaptive linear dynamic part. The nonlinear static part is derived using inversion and subsequent exponential approximation of simulated or measured steady-state characteristics of the exchanger. The...

In this paper, first the governing parameters characterizing low-finned tubes are reviewed. Second, the more important of the available performance correlations are compared with the available experimental data. The most reliable one can be employed to develop a pressure drop relationship, which has already been used in an algorithm for exchanger sizing. Also a means for the identification of a...

Heat exchangers are one of the most important devices of mechanical systems in modernsociety. Most industrial processes involve the transfer of heat and more often they requirethe heat transfer process to be controlled. A heat exchanger is the heat exchanged betweentwo media, one being cold and the other being hot. There are different types of heatexchanger, but the type which is widely used in...

Enormously large amount of heat produced by human activities is now mostly wasted into the environment without use. To realize a sustainable society, it is important to develop practical solutions for waste heat recovery. Here, we demonstrate that a tubular thermoelectric device made of tilted multilayer of Bi(0.5)Sb(1.5)Te3/Ni provides a promising solution. The Bi(0.5)Sb(1.5)Te3/Ni tube allows...

Alat penukar panas merupakan suatu peralatan yang digunakan untuk mempertukarkan energi dalam bentuk antara aliran fluida berbeda suhu dapat terjadi melalui kontak langsung maupun tidak langsung. Salah satu tipe dari alat kalor banyak dipakai adalah Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger. Namun perawatannya kita perlu adanya evaluasi lapangan sebelum dilakukan maintenace. Metode data selama 5(lima) hari...
