HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN GOALS: Role of heat exchangers in chemical processing Basic concepts and terminology Types of heat exchangers Design methodology Sizing Design Rating
WHATIS DESIGN??? A DESIGN IS PLAN FOR: Manufacturing an artifact refrigerator or a rug Building the mean of manufacture A factory or a chemical plant Building structure A bridge or a baseball stadium Implementing an organization A hospital emergency room A air transportation system
HEAT EXCHANGER NETWORK SYNTHESIS 1: TARGETING OBJECTIVES: 1 Determine the minimum energy inputs required for a process 2Determine the minimum number of heat exchangers required to transfer this energy 3Develop a methodology for determining where these heat exchangers should be placed in the process
DESIGN METHODOLOGY: INPUT-OUTPUT DECISIONS goaL-- Choose the process chemistry and feedstock most appropriate to the plant to be designed and determine the associated economic potential
DESIGN METHODOLOGY goaL-- Produce design for chemical plant that: Is economically acceptable and Is operable,ie., eIs safe → Is controllable Is reliable,and Is environmentally acceptable
ENGINEERING ECONOMICS II INVESTMENT ANALYSIS Companies(and individuals) invest money in order to earn money Examples Build a factory to make washing machines and dryers → Open laundromat Write novel(what is being invested here?) Get a degree in chemical engineering
