Heat exchangers’ classification, recent technologies and
analysis the advanced development of science and technology has recently
brought improvements to the heat exchangers performance. On the light of that,
write a report in which the following points needs to be covered:
1) Describe the
general classification of the heat exchangers. Perform a comparative analysis
of different types of heat exchangers based on criteria such as efficiency,
cost-effectiveness, ease of maintenance, and environmental impact.
2) Select one type of the heat exchangers to describe it and
discuss recent advancements in its technology, focusing on innovative designs,
materials*, and performance improvements.
3) Identify and formulate one of the techniques used to
design and analyse the heat exchangers supported by the appropriate
mathematical equations.
4) Design a simulation model of the selected heat exchanger
type using relevant software tools (e.g., MATLAB, COMSOL Multiphysics, EES,
Aspen HYSYS) to analyse its thermal performance under various operating
conditions.
5) Provide a real-world application or industry where the
chosen type of heat exchanger is commonly used.
6) Professional and ethical responsibilities have to be
recognized while writing the final report (Referencing/Citations).
