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...

S-SS-3-29: CFD Simulations of Diabatic Shellside Viscous Flows
January 16, 2017
For shellside diabatic flows of highly viscous fluids, Xist can predict inconsistent pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients. HTRI examined the transition between forced and natural convection in single-segmental and double-segmental exchangers with Alta-Vis oil and an asphalt blend as test fluids. Comparisons were made between experimental data, open literature, computational...

Is My Design OK? Applying API 661 Annex C to Air-Cooled Heat Exchanger Designs with Viscous and High Pour Point Fluids
January 16, 2017
Winterization in accordance with API 661 Annex C may need to be considered by designers when air-cooled heat exchangers are operating in climatic extremes. In order to prevent operating problems in-situ, a temperature safety margin should be added to the critical process temperature to determine the specified minimum tubewall temperature. For...
