Author(s) : COWELL T. A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS PAPER PRESENTS A FAMILY OF METHODS FOR COMPARING COMPACT HEAT TRANSFER SURFACE CONFIGURATIONS. IT IS SHOWN HOW MEASURES FOR THE RELATIVE VALUES OF REQUIRED HYDRAULIC DIAMETER, FRONTAL AREA, TOTAL VOLUME, PUMPING POWER, AND NUMBEROF TRANSFER UNITS FOR DIFFERENT SURFACES CAN BE DERIVED AND DISPLAYED, WHEN ANY 2 OF THE ABOVE 5 PARAMETERS ARE HELD CONSTANT. A WIDE RANGE OF COMPARISONS THAT ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE PARTICULAR DUTY CAN BE SIMPLY MADE. A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ALLOWING COMPARISONS, WHERE 3 OF THE 5 PARAMETERS ARE FIXED, YIELDS VERY CLEAR AND COMPACT INDICATIONS OF THE RELATIVE MERITS OF DIFFERENT SURFACES.
