After taking this course, the students will
- know common heat exchanger types, their advantages and limitations,
- be aware of and will appreciate single and multiphase heat transfer and friction coefficient correlations, and they will know how to select the appropriate ones for the case in hand,
- know how to handle rating and sizing problems in heat exchanger design,
- know how to consider fouling of surfaces, how to incorporate fouling in designs, and how to handle fouling during heat exchanger operation,
- learn how to design common types of heat exchangers namely hair-pin, shell-and-tube, gasketed plate and compact heat exchangers and will understand their uses in some new engineering areas or in innovative applications.
