RR-6 The Second Law Efficiency of Process Heat Exchangers
April 12, 2024
An efficiency is defined for process heat exchangers using the second law of thermodynamics. This parameter accounts for the unavoidable sources of irreversibility in a real heat exchanger—e.g., heat transfer over a finite temperature difference and flow friction. Its definition is based on the destruction of flow availability, which is a function of the...

ASME UHX Fixed Tubesheet and Expansion Joint Analysis
June 07, 2023
Fixed tubesheet heat exchangers are often designed with expansion joints to handle the differential thermal growth between the tubes and the shell. Learn how to use Exchanger Optimizer 6.1.8 to specify operating metal temperatures and evaluate the cost impact of adding a flanged and flued or bellows expansion joint modify designs...
