Heat Exchangers
from one fluid to another. The basic component of a heat exchanger can be viewed as a tube with one fluid running through it and another fluid flowing by on…
Particulate Solids
The behaviour of fluids, both liquids and gases is considered, with particular reference to their flow properties and their heat and mass transfer characteristics. Once the composition, temperature and pressure…
Some Considerations in Modeling Complex Physical Processes
In Sections 5 and 6, a number of assumptions were made about the processes that we were attempting to describe. These are all part of the general approach to modeling…
Transient Heat Transfer (Convective Cooling or Heating)
All the heat transfer problems we have examined have been steady state, but there are often circumstances in which the transient response to heat transfer is critical. An example is…
Heat Transfer From a Fin
Fins are used in a large number of applications to increase the heat transfer from surfaces. Typically, the fin material has a high thermal conductivity. The fin is exposed to…
External Transport Effects
For a solid-catalyzed reaction to take place, a reactant in the fluid phase must first diffuse through the stagnant boundary layer surrounding the catalyst particle. This mode of transport is…
Changing Business Landscape
Size Matters Due to globalization, organizations have now become interdependent and hence accountable for the social, environmental, and political challenges that threaten to affect our shared future. There are about…
Mechanical Design Features of Major Units
This section is included to outline some of the basic mechanical design features of the major process units as a preliminary to further design work presented in Part II. Note…
Temperature Distributions in the Presence of Heat Sources
There are a number of situations in which there are sources of heat in the domain of interest. Examples are: 1) Electrical heaters where electrical energy is converted resistively into…
12 Things You Need To Know About Financial Statements
Knowing how to work with the numbers in a company's financial statements is an essential skill for stock investors. The meaningful interpretation and analysis of balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements to discern…
