Heat Exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy between two fluids or more fluids , between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid particulates and a fluid, at different temperatures and in thermal contact. In heat exchangers, there are usually no external heat and work interactions. Typical applications involve heating or cooling of a fluid stream of concern and evaporation or condensation of single or multi component fluid streams. In other applications, the objective may be to recover or reject heat, pasteurize, fractionate, distill, concentrate, crystallize, or control a process fluid. In a few heat exchangers, the fluids exchanging heat are in direct contact.

They are used in industry as liquid to air heat exchangers such as automobile radiators , heater cores , condensers , evaporators of HVAC systems , aircraft oil coolers, unit air heaters , intercoolers of compressors. Thermodynamically, the effectiveness for the cross-flow exchanger falls in between that for the counter-flow and parallel-flow arrangements. This is one of the most common flow arrangements used for extended surface heat exchangers, because it greatly simplifies the header design at the entrance and exit of each …show more content…
A separate header tank is provided at the upper end of the collector tank to prevent the aeration and also to provide a coolant reserve.
Radiator matrix or core :The different types of radiator matrices as shown in figure 1.3 used for the cooling of the water. The radiator core is divided into the separate and complicated parts -one act as a separate passage and other as a air passage. Earliest radiator as shown in figure 1.3(a) used a honeycomb block which was made by a large number of circular tubes upset at each end to hexagonal shape.[25] The hexagons were packed in contact and bound by solder. This provided a continuous water passage between the circular parts of the tubes. The cooling air is passed through the circular tubes.
The film type of matrix which is also called ribbon-cellular matrix. It consists pair of thin metal ribbons soldered together along their edges so to form a waterway running from header tank to collector tank. Between two waterways is a copper ribbon forming air passages. The copper ribbon act as a air fins. Water flows from the top to bottom and gives up heat to the fins across which air flows from front to back. Due to zigzag passage metal surface area is increased and turbulence also created. The shape of the fin is such that smooth layer of air flow

Chemical bonding, also known as chemical reactions, are happening all around us. From cold packs we use on various injuries to the water we drink, they’re all results of chemical bonding. To be more specific, endothermic and exothermic reactions are both types of chemical reactions that are classified by the heat energy that is either released or absorbed when a reaction occurs. An example of an endothermic reaction would be an “instant cold pack”, which become chilled when activated. As for exothermic reactions, “hot packs” make great examples due to their significant temperature increase in just a few minutes.
Sharks rely on their fins to swim and allow water to
This is because the hair on the legs are very small in diameter, which are about 1/30 of human hair. Thus, air can be trapped within the densely packed hair and isolate water from its body. Rather than water tension, the velvety hair is the main reason that allows water striders to float on the water surface. With this adaptation, skater can escape from predator and prey on insects more easily because they can act before target starting to
“August Heat:” Chilling Writing Authors use different methods to surprise and terrify readers. It’s a way for them to show emotions that is good because it brings suspense to the reader. In particularly, W.F. Harvey uses suspense. He created suspense in “August Heat” by foreshadows, setting and just the general idea of fear. “Foreshadowing is the use of hints to suggest events later in the plot.
Small buds appeared and genes like sonic hedgehog shaped them into fins. Over millions of year’s fins evolved into a myriad of forms… as millions of years past, more variations. From clawed limbs of reptiles… to the powerful arms of primates that could traverse through the trees, until eventually a remarkable piece of anatomy arose that would itself transform the world. The human hand. This history is not just in our bones, flesh and muscle it’s in our DNA and that’s what connects us to our inner fish” (Shubin, Your Inner Fish,
A seahorse’s fins help it to survive. Seahorses have two fins instead of ears on the side of their head. These fins help it to steer. The dorsal fin on a seahorse’s back is it propulsion. Seahorses can move this fin back and forth
Is it possible to find the specific heat of a metal by experimenting and by using the SMΔT formula? Background Information: The experiment deals with finding the different factors in the formula SMΔT to find the specific heat of the metal, which is iron in this case. ΔH=SMΔT, which means that the change in heat equals the specific heat times the mass times the change in temperature. There are many new concepts that are necessary to know for this formula, such as specific heat, mass and how to find the change in temperature. To begin with specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1℃.
Attic Insulation As a homeowner, attic Insulation is one of the most profitable decisions you will make from a return on investment (ROI) basis. Specifically, energy bills (heating and cooling your home) average somewhere in the range of 50-70% for a typical home. Loosing the heating and cooling that you are paying for due to poor attic insulation is just a waste of money. Yet with the proper attic insulation you can reduce the loss of your heating and cooling, and also stop outside air from entering your home.
A temperature gradient is formed because the head of the system is now further from the flask. Factors that affect the temperature gradient include the rate of heating and vapor removal from the system’s stillhead. Upon heating, the vapor of compound A rises, reaching a distance at which it no longer has enough energy to maintain its gaseous form; at this point, the molecules re-enter the liquid state. This process of rising up, condensation, and revaporization eventually results in vapor comprising 100% of substance A. This process is then repeated at the boiling point of substance B. The efficiency of this process is reflected by the reflux ratio, which reveals how many condensate drops reenter the stillpot for every distillate drop
Since these animals are semi-aquatic and spend most of their time near water or swimming in it, they have quite tough and waterproof skin to accommodate this lifestyle. There are also some other adaptations this animal has for swimming, such as the ability to hold their breath underwater for up to 5 minutes at time, and their eyes, ears, and nostrils are all located near the top of their head so they can stay submerged and almost completely hidden in the water, much like a hippo does. They are very
Condensers and Evaporators for Chevrolet C1500 The Chevrolet C1500 truck's A/C system requires several parts that depend on each other to function, including a condenser and evaporator. You should consult your Chevrolet owner’s manual if you’re considering removing these parts. Most importantly, you should know the function of the condenser and evaporator before repairing or replacing them. What function does the Chevrolet C1500 condenser and evaporator serve?
Heat stress is a condition in which the increase in core body temperature overwhelms the body’s homeostatic thermoregulation abilities, thus producing and absorbing more heat than the body could dissipate [1]. This results in a wide spectrum of heat-related illnesses, ranging from minor conditions such as heat cramps and heat exhaustion to the more severe condition known as heat stroke. Heat stroke is defined as a core body temperature of beyond 40.60C, commonly associated with the dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the failure of multiple organ systems, which may ultimately result in disability or death. [2] Heat stress can be categorized into two different entities: classical and exertional. Classical or environmental heat

The thermal distillation process uses heat to evaporate water and then later liquefy again. When there is leftover heat or enough electricity available, as is often the case with factories and power plants, thermal distillation is a well-organized and workable
