    Air and Nytrogen

    Hello hope all is fine Please, I have to realize a calculation for a Nitrogen cooler. Nonetheless I have available the sole properties of air. My question is: my I realize an approximation and consider nitrogen as dry air (that is , relative humidity = 0)? Many thanks

    Free Cooling

    Hi there, hope all is fine. Please I would have to calculate an heat exchanger in free cooling. This means that in this case there is no forced convection but only natural convection with one of the two fluids. The heat exchange is driven by the temperature difference. I suppose that...

    Heat exchanger topic F value

    Hello there I am dealing with a plate fin and tube heat exchanger. From classic thermodynamics I know that if the counterflow is perfect, I would have following equation Q = UA*LMTD In case of not perfect counterflow, I shall multiply for the F factor Q = UA*F*LMTD Let's consider a case...

    Oil data reduction

    Dear All, I am trying to find an equation to fit the data of oil viscosity properties. As I suppose many of you know, the main problem is due to the large excursion of values in function of temperature. I have found this interesting post thread391-287467. I have then tried to utilize the...

    NH3 Evaporator

    Hello there, I am currently designing a NH3 pump evaporator. I would have following questions. 1 - Which correlation may I utilize for calculating NH3 pressure drop ? 2 - Is there a suggested value for the pressure drop to keep ? Ex, is equivalent temperature loss similar to the one adopted...

    Process heat exchanger dimensioning

    Hello there, I am focusing in a new design and I found a very strange issue: I have to dimension an heat exchanger. What really puzzles me is that not both inlet temperatures are provided, but one inlet temperature and the max value for the outlet temperature of hot fluid. Capacity is...

    Over - design

    Hi there, wish you a great Year for everybody. Hope that somebody could clarify me following issue. When dealing with surface overdesing in an heat exchanger sizing, I understand as follows. If I suppose to have, x% overdesign, it means as follows: I will realize the calculation of the heat...

    water pressure

    Hi there ! This time I've got a odd question. Seems banal, but I can't work it out. Issue: A sealed tank is completely filled with water @ 72.5 PSI and a known outside temperature, (ex 77 F). The tank is not insulated with respect of outside temperature Let's suppose that, after one day...
