TE-7 Review of Intube Static Mixers for Heat Transfer Applications
April 23, 2024
Inline static mixers promote the radial spreading of momentum and heat and are thus useful in enhancing heat transfer, especially in viscous laminar flows. After a brief review of the physics of plain tube laminar flow heat transfer, this report includes classifications of these mixers based on their construction and presents some...

Research Update: Natural-draft Testing on Air-cooled Heat Exchangers
December 12, 2019
To ensure reliable data collection, HTRI always seeks to improve test methods and incorporate innovative techniques. Recently installed at the Research & Technology Center, the Air-cooled Unit (ACU) has motivated us to develop better ways of collecting airside measurements for both forced- and natural-draft testing. Accurate measurements for natural-draft (fans off)...

Research Update: Design and Construction of the Rotating Fouling Unit
January 16, 2017
HTRI currently runs fouling experiments on the High Temperature Fouling Unit (HTFU) which recirculates a 27 liter sample of crude for periods up to one month. As we plan to expand our crude oil fouling test program, we are investigating alternate test methods to screen crude oil fouling with smaller sample...
