Are you ready to build your first case in Xphe®? This webinar provides an overview of the program's user interface and basic functionality then demonstrates the specification of an exchanger design in Xphe using the information in an API 662 Spec Sheet. Join this session for a step-by-step specification of a new Xphe case including process conditions, physical properties, and unit geometry. Additionally, we provide an overview of key performance parameters calculated by Xphe.

Designing effective heat exchangers requires understanding flow and heat transfer characteristics of fluids. Heat exchangers frequently use non-Newtonian fluids, and HTRI has conducted research to increase our knowledge of their behavior.
In this webinar, we discuss the basics of non-Newtonian fluids and using power law to model the behavior. The timeline of non-Newtonian fluids research at HTRI is showcased, with highlights of research projects such as the experiments in 2019 using ketchup as a working fluid. HTRI used the collected experimental data to develop correlations for heat transfer and pressure drop, as well as to construct and validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. We also tested the HTRI correlation for a pseudo-plastic fluid 0.2% wt. Carbopol, using experimental data from literature. These data are then compared with HTRI correlations, using CFD. This study enhanced our understanding of non-Newtonian fluids, providing a clear path forward for additional research.
