Intensification of batch chemical processes by using integrated chemical reactor-heat exchangers

Enhancing Heat Transfer of Drag-Reducing Surfactant Solution by an HEV Static Mixer with Low Pressure Drop

“…This significant enhancement of heat transfer was due to the HEV static mixer's disturbance to the drag reducing flow. As discussed in the introduction section, tabs in the HEV static mixer cause intensified turbulence and streamwise counter-rotating vortices behind the tabs near the wall [45][46][47][48]. The streamwise counter-rotating vortices bring the heated fluid near the wall to the axis of the flow, and at the same time, the wall region is replenished with cold fluid from the center of the bulk flow to receive heat from the wall.…”

A dynamic object-oriented model for efficient simulation of microbial reduction in dispersed turbulent flow

“…Most studies deal with steady-state conditions, e.g. Hawthorn, Ackerman & Nixon (1968) and Phillips, Lauschke & Peerhossaini (1997). Regarding dynamic simulation, Galle, Agar & Watzenberger (2001) worked with gas flows and Haugwitz (2005) with liquids.…”

High Temperature Thermal Devices for Nuclear Process Heat Transfer Applications

“…Because of the use of diffusion bonding, the expected lifetime of the heat exchanger exceeds that of heat exchangers that are based on a brazed structure (Dewson and Thonon 2003). The Marbond heat exchanger is a type of compact heat exchanger based on a novel combination of photochemical etching and diffusion bonding (Phillips 1996). The internal construction of this heat exchanger comprises a stack of plates that are etched photochemically to form a series of slots as shown in Figure 4.…”
