Study Notes
Heat Exchangers
- A 1-2 heat exchanger refers to a single pass on the shell side and a double pass on the tube side.
- In sugar mills, juice is evaporated in short vertical tube evaporators.
- A correction of LMTD (Log Mean Temperature Difference) is essential in case of cross flow heat exchangers.
Radiation
- Alpha radiation consists of singly charged particles that generate to intermediate distances.
- The energy of a body that can be transmitted in the form of heat is referred to as internal energy.
- A black body is a theoretical body that, when heated to incandescence, would emit a continuous light-ray spectrum.
- The radiant heat transfer depends on temperature.
- An object must be at a temperature above 0°C to emit electromagnetic radiation.
Heat Transfer
- Heat transfer due to density differential is known as convection.
- The rate of heat transfer through a slab of material does not depend on the specific heat of the material.
- The primary function of a thermal radiator is to transfer heat from a hot body to a cold body.
- Styrofoam is a good insulating material because it contains many tiny pockets of air.
Conduction
- The passing of heat energy from molecule to molecule through a substance is known as conduction.
- Metals are good conductors of heat because they contain free electrons.
- The thermal conductivity of metals does not change significantly with temperature.
Miscellaneous
- The function of a superheater is to increase the total energy content of the flow.
- A series of processes that eventually bring the system back to its original condition is known as a cycle.
- Insulating pipes helps to minimize heat loss.
- The rate of radiation does not depend on the thickness of the radiating body.
- Asbestos is not a good conductor of heat.
- The thermal conductivity of gases and vapors can be calculated using Maxwell's theory.
- Sutherland's equation is used to calculate the thermal conductivity of gases.
- Water has the highest thermal conductivity among liquids.
- A thermograph is used to measure the amount of infrared radiation emitted by each portion of a person's skin.
