I've initially posted it in "Boilers and Pressure Vessels..." but acting upon advices I am posting in here as well.
Hello all.
I am currently working on tube-tube heat exchanger for waste water treatment plant for which purpuse is to heat up the sludge.
Project covers 3 different cases that vary in sludge precentage solution (5/10/15%).
As it is my first encounter with such an application (sludge as an working agent) I am having some difficulties with establishing the fouling factor.
Therefore, I would like to ask if there are any guidelines how to find/calculate an accurate value? Any charts/tables?
What I got as designing input is just some thermal-related properties of sludge (thermal capacity, conductivity, viscosity etc.) but there is no additional info what the sludge comes from. Is there even a possible to asses the fouling factor having so limited data?
I would appreciate any feedback!
Best regards.
