Abstract
Energy and materials saving considerations, as well as economic incentives, have led to efforts to produce more efficient heat exchange equipment. Common thermal-hydraulic goals are to reduce the size of a heat exchanger required for a specified heat duty, to upgrade the capacity of an existing heat exchanger, to reduce the approach temperature difference for the process streams, or to reduce the pumping power. The first two objectives translate to an increase in the average heat flux of the heat exchanger, or the encouragement of high heat fluxes. In the case of systems with a specified heat dissipation, the goal is to cool the device, or accommodate a high heat flux, at moderate temperature difference. Implicit in these objectives, energy reduction (improvement of first law efficiency) and temperature difference reduction (improvement of second law efficiency) are important to global environmental protection.
