INTRODUCTION

A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy (enthalpy) between two or more flu-ids, between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid particulates and a fluid, at different tempera-tures and in thermal contact. In heat exchangers, there are usually no external heat and work inter-actions.

Typical applications involve heating or cooling of a fluid stream and evaporation or condensation of single- or multicomponent fluid streams. In other applications, the objective may be to recover or re-ject heat, or sterilize, pasteurize, fractionate, distill, concentrate, crystallize, or control a process fluid. In a few heat exchangers, the fluids exchanging heat are in direct contact.

In most heat exchangers, heat transfer between flu-ids takes place through a separating wall or into and out of a wall in a transient manner. In many heat exchangers, the fluids are separated by a heat

transfer surface, and ideally they do not mix or leak. Such exchangers are referred to as direct transfer type, or simply recuperators. In contrast, exchang-ers in which there is intermittent heat exchange be-tween the hot and cold fluids—via thermal energy storage and release through the exchanger surface or matrix are referred to as indirect transfer type, or simply regenerators. Such exchangers usually have fluid leakage from one fluid stream to the other due to pressure differences and matrix rotation/valve switching.

Classifications of heat exchangers:

There are a number exchanger types based on the type of flow configuration, method of heat transfer and constructional features. The process designer has to select the best suitable type that meets the performance and operational requirements. Follow-ing is the list of heat transfer equipment.

Based on Principles of Operation (Transfer pro-cess):Recuperative Type (Direct Transfer):

Cold and hot fluids flow simultaneously. Heat is transferred through a wall separating the fluids. Eg: Steam boilers, Heaters, Condensers etc.

Regenerative type (Storage):

One and the same heating surface is alternatively exposed to the cold and hot fluids. Heat carried by the hot fluid is taken away and stored in the walls of the apparatus and then transferred to the cold fluid Eg: Open hearth and glass melting furnaces, Air heaters of blast furnaces.

Abstract

Heat transfer equipment is defined by the function it fulfills in a process. On the similar path, Heat exchangers are the equipment used in industrial processes to recover heat between two process fluids. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, and natural gas processing. The operating efficiency of these exchangers plays a very key role in the overall running cost of a plant. So the designers are on a trend of developing heat exchangers which are highly efficient, compact, and cost effective.

A common problem in industries is to extract maximum heat from a utility stream coming out of a particular process, and to heat a process stream. Therefore the objective of present work involves study of refinery process and applies phenomena of heat transfer to a double pipe heat exchanger.

Fluidized Bed Type:

It is a direct transfer type used to transfer heat between a fluid and finally divided particles of a sold material Eg: used in chemical industry, Coal fired boilers for waste heat recovery.

Based on Fluid Flow Arrangement:Counter flow:Parallel flow:Cross Flow:Single Pass Shell and Tube:

The tube bundle, or stack, is inserted inside the shell. Tube sheets hold the tubes in place and form a barrier to prevent the tube-side fluid from mixing with the shell-side fluid. A series of baffles directs the flow of cooling fluid back and forth across the tube bundle.

Materials And Manufacturing Process

The selection of materials of construction is a very important aspect to be considered before undertak-ing the design of heat exchangers. In each individu-al case, the choice of proper material shall be made, bearing in mind the specific requirements which are normally as follows:

1. Mechanical resistance i.e. strength and sufficient toughness at operating temperatures.2. Chemical resistance under operating conditions with regard to corrosive media, concentration, tem-perature, foreign substances, flow behavior etc. the rate of corrosion must be negligible over a prolonged period of time and the material must be resistant against other corrosion phenomenon.3. No detrimental interference by the material on the process or on the products.4. Easy supply of material within time permitted and in the time required.5. Good workability.6. Lowest possible costs.

Problem description

The present work is based on industrial require-ment. In the petroleum refinery, after distillation, different grades of oil come out at different high temperature which comes in to a pump and sup-plied at required level. The aim is to design a double pipe heat exchanger for an already existing suction pool of pump in which hot hydrocarbons are pass-ing after distillation. The heat recovered from high temperature hydrocarbons is utilized to increase the temperature of crude oil up to required limit. The pool data, drawings, temperature of hydrocar-bon and required temperature rise of crude oil were given by industry.

Refinery Process Description Introduction:

Every refinery begins with the separation of crude oil into different fractions by distillation. The fractions are further treated to convert them into mixtures of more useful saleable products by vari-ous methods such as cracking, reforming, alkyla-tion, polymerization and isomerization. These mix-tures of new compounds are then separated using methods such as fractionation and solvent extrac-tion. Impurities are removed by various methods, e.G. Dehydration, desalting, sulphur removal and hydrotreating. Refinery processes have developed in response to changing market demands for certain products. With the advent of the internal combus-tion engine, the main task of refineries became the production of petrol. Distillation is the first step in the processing of crude oil and it takes place in a tall steel tower called a fractionation column. The inside of the column is divided at intervals by horizontal trays. The column is kept very hot at the bottom (the column is insu-lated) but as different hydrocarbons boil at different

temperatures, the temperature gradually reduces towards the top, so that each tray is a little cooler than the one below. The crude needs to be heated up before entering the fractionation column and this is done at first in a series of heat exchangers where heat is taken from other process streams which require cooling be-fore being sent to rundown. Heat is also exchanged against condensing streams from the main column. Typically, the crude will be heated up in this way up to a temperature of 200 - 280 0C, before entering a furnace. As the raw crude oil arriving contains quite a bit of water and salt, it is normally sent for salt removing first, in a piece of equipment called a de-salter. Upstream the desalter, the crude is mixed with a water stream, typically about 4 - 6% on feed. Intense mixing takes place over a mixing valve and (optionally) as static mixer. The desalter, a large liq-uid full vessel, uses an electric field to separate the crude from the water droplets.

Distillation (Fractionation):

Because crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons with different boiling temperatures, it can be separated by distillation into groups of hydrocarbons that boil between two specified boiling points. Two types of distillation are performed: atmospheric and vacu-um.

Design Aspects of Present Heat Exchanger

The thermal design is based upon a certain pro-cess parameters, the thermal and physical proper-ties of the process fluids and the basic governing equations. Conventionally design method of heat exchanger is largely based on the use of empiri-cal equations as well as experimental data which is available mostly in the form of graphs and chart.

Salient Features of Heat ExchangerThe heat exchanger considered for analysis here has the following parameters.

Shell side. Type of fluid: crude oil. Inlet temperature =313KOutlet temperature =553K.Mass flow rate=0.320kg/s.Diameter of shell=0.3m.

The properties of fluid are not available so with the help of the specific gravity mentioned for the hot fluid, obtained by API gravity equation 3.1. The petroleum refining is a major industry, petroleum products are an important fuel for power industry, and petroleum derivates are starting point for many syntheses in the chemical industry. Therefore given common names or denoting the refinery operations by which they were produced, and specific gravities are defined by a scale established by the American Petroleum Institute and termed either degrees API or oAPI. The oAPI is related to the specific gravity by

After obtaining API gravity from table hot fluid is identified as diesel. As cold fluid is crude oil.

Numerical Simulation Procedure

Results and Discussion

Over view

The present work involves the numerical analysis of the heat exchanger with different materials with varying fin thickness and by changing the mass flow rates for cold fluid. Initially the simulation is car-ried out with mass flow rate 0.320 Kg/s and shifted to 0.220 And 0.120 Kg/s. The analysis was carried out for steel, aluminum, and copper material for dif-ferent thickness range of 0.002M to 0.005M in the interval of 0.001M and the simulations and results are discussed. These simulations are done as an attempt for analysis of heat transfer and flow phe-nomena in the shell side and tube side. The steady state and unsteady simulations are done with inlet conditions using turbulence model. The domain in the present study is quite a complex 3-d geometry, so it is quite diligent to present the flow physics in the whole domain for discussion. The 2-d planes are taken in the geometry for the discussion. The plane and line along with the whole geometry and the co-ordinate axes are shown in fig 6.1. The plane and line are taken along the length of the heat exchang-er in the x-y planes of constant z-coordinate. Plane is taken in the centre of tubular section and a line is at 0.220M from an outlet of the section. The de-tails of fin materials along with different thickness for comparison are presented in table 6.1.

Conclusions

1. As we increase the fin thickness the temperature of the cold fluid at the outlet of the heat exchanger increases. 2. We get high temperature profile at outlet in case of Aluminum and copper compared to steel mate-rial.3. There is very minor changes occur in the pres-sure and velocity profile with increase of fin thick-ness as well as change of material that is pressure and velocity doesn’t get much affected by thickness of fin and material of fin.
