Assessment of heat transfer enhancement and fouling in industrial heat exchangers: Final report
Since the oil embargo of 1983--1984, energy costs have motivated industry to improve the performance and reliability of heat exchangers by using enhanced heat transfer surfaces. In addition, because of the high economic penalty caused by fouling, research in the area of fouling has increased. In recent years, several international conferences have been held by academia and industry to report on and discuss research opportunities in the area of heat transfer enhancement and fouling. These research opportunities have been prioritized based on the assessment and judgment of the experts in the field. This report, representing a four man-month effort, is an attempt to determine the impacts of heat exchanger enhancement and fouling on energy and capital costs so as to set some priorities for the various research opportunities. As a result of the literature review, a brief overview of enhancement and fouling has been provided and serves as a ready reference. 54 refs., 4 figs., 31 tabs.
