Abstract:The effect of a triangular configuration of heat exchanging tubes (HETs) on the instantaneous and local heat transfer coefficient (LHTC) has been investigated and quantified in an air-water bubble column (BC) utilising an advanced heat transfer technique. The bundle of heat exchange tubes was designed to cover 25% of the column's cross-sectional area (CSA) to simulate the heat exchanger tubes used in the industrial Fischer Tropsch (FT) process. The local heat flux, surface temperature, bulk temperature, and he… Show more
