When the gas returns to the pulse tube, its temperature is equal to the temperature of the heat exchanger Tg = Tu. The heat exchange rate between the gas and the heat exchanger is given by ... 

Integrating gH in eq. (5.25) over a cycle and dividing by the cycle time gives the average heat exchange rate in the hot heat exchanger ...

In this section we develop a scheme implemented in a continuous polymerization reactor to regulate polydispersity by tracking periodic conversion profiles and maintaining stable temperature conditions. Oscillatory conversion is tracked by manipulating the initiator feedrate while the heat exchange rate is used to regulate reactor temperature. 

Determine the power required by the compressor, power required by pumps 1 and 2, power produced by turbines 1, 2, and 3, rate of heat added by the nuclear reactor, net power produced by the Brayton gas turbine plant, net power produced by the Rankine plant, rate of heat removed by coolers 1 and 2, rate of heat exchanged in the heat exchanger, rate of heat added in the gas burner, mass rate flow of helium in the Brayton cycle, mass rate flow of steam extracted to the feed-water heater (mixing chamber), cycle efficiency of the Brayton plant, cycle efficiency of the Rankine plant, and cycle efficiency of the combined Brayton-Rankine plant. 

G is the amount of heat given off to the walls over a unit tube length in unit time with respect to a unit cross-section. If the heat exchange rate is determined by the heat transfer from the gas to the walls,... 

To realize isothermal conditions, the heat release rate of the reaction must be exactly compensated by the heat exchange rate by the cooling system ... 

The heat balance of an isothermal semi-batch reaction is represented graphically in Figure 7.2. The maximum heat exchange rate (qeXiialx) calculated for a constant temperature of the heat carrier is also represented in the diagram. It increases linearly with time until the upper limit of the jacket is reached. In this example, the upper limit of the jacket is not reached during the feed time of four hours. 

Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Rating. A 20,000 kg fffi1 of light hydrocarbon liquid stream is to be cooled from 200°C to 100°C by 65,000 kg Iffi1 of a heavy hydrocarbon liquid stream with a feed temperature of 35°C. 

The main goal of the CFB design is the determination of the reactor (riser) dimensions to firstly fulfil requirements of conversion (and thus of residence time) and secondly to achieve the heat exchange rate, if so required The recycle loop is of additional importance and its design can be based on correlations found in lito-ature (e.g. Smolders et al. [1]) and is not reported in this paper.

Solution of this expression shows how the temperature varies with time for various combinations of feed rate, feed temperature, and heat-exchange rate. The conversion obtained under such conditions is always the equilibrium value corresponding to the temperature at the end of the process. Its application to a practical problem is illustrated in Example 5-5. 

For nonisothermal flows of gases through a circular tube, the heat exchange rate can be estimated using the formula [267]... 

Enhanced heat transfer in the industrial applications, such as electronics cooling, is often required. One of the most common methods of heat transfer enhancement is the use of enhanced surfaces, e.g. fins. Moreover, for a constant size and heat exchange rate, a lower temperature gradient shows a more efficient heat transfer. Enhanced heat transfer techniques can be classified as active and passive.

Periodic adsorption and desorption inside adsorbent particles, induced by the volume modulation, may lead to a heat of sorption effect which is dissipated through a heat exchange between the sorbent and the surroundings. When the heat exchange rate is comparable with the diffusion rate, another bimodal form for the frequency response characteristic curves is found [28,29]. 

By analysing the parameters obtained from the FR in-phase and out-of-phase curve fits of the non-isothermal diffusion model, it has been found that the pressure and temperature dependence of the heat transfer coefficients, the heat exchange rates, the non-isothermahty of the system, the heat of adsorption, and the K values derived from the model are all physically rational [38,55]. One can, therefore, conclude that the low frequency FR spectral data can be attributed to the dissipation of the heats of adsorption between sorbent and the surroundings in the system.
