Course Objectives Provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and analyze different types of heat exchangers. To teach and apply the calculation steps in the design of heat exchangers in detail. Develop a thermodynamic model of heat exchangers and formulation and application of energy and exergy analysis methods.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • The students who succeeded in this course will; • select the appropriate heat exchanger for specific applications for different types of heat exchangers, such as shell and tube, plate-fin, and tube-fin heat exchangers considering the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of each type; • determine the required heat exchanger size, surface area, fluid flow rates, pressure drop, and temperature differences using relevant equations and correlations, perform design calculations for heat exchangers; • evaluate the performance of heat exchangers considering heat transfer effectiveness, overall thermal efficiency, fouling effects, and energy consumption. • design a heat exchanger using the calculation steps; • complete a design project of a heat exchanger.
Course Content Classification of heat exchangers, basic design methods of heat exchangers (LMTD and epsilon-NTU), forced convection correlations for single-phase heat exchangers, heat exchanger pressure drop and pumping power, fouling of heat exchangers, calculation steps of designing heat exchangers, thermodynamic modeling and analysis of heat exchangers, design and simulation of heat exchangers, students will be asked to complete a design project of heat exchanger.
