    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.
