Copper itself is not considered a structural material because of its high density and unsatisfactory mechanical properties. However, graphite fibres, which increase thermal conductivity and reduce CTE and density, provide the composite with favourable properties for application in heat exchangers, radiators and electronics. 

A heat exchanger is composed of heat radiation fins and a fan. The coolant flowing in the heat exchanger radiates heat out through the fins, and the radiated heat is sent out of the fuel cell system by the fan. The radiation fins are made with thin metal sheets with large surface areas in order to achieve high heat radiation efficiency. Without the fan, the air temperature around the fins will quickly get close to the coolant temperature after the fuel cell is running for a short time because the heat accumulates inside the fuel cell system s enclosure. Then, the heat that is able to radiate out of the fins will become smaller... 

Heat transfer. A number of options exist for the heat exchanger/chemical reactor. Examples of alternative interfaces include traditional heat exchangers, radiation heat transfer (thermal infrared between tube banks), duplex tubes (tubes constructed of two metals), and intermediate heat exchanger loops. It is not clear what the preferred option is. The very high temperatures does create new options such as the use of a heat exchanger that operates on radiation heat transfer (Fig. 5). Such options provide very high degrees of separation between the nuclear and chemical facilities. 

In order to maintain high energy efficiency and ensure a long service life of the materials of construction in the combustion chamber, turbine and jet nozzle, a clean burning flame must be obtained that minimizes the heat exchange by radiation and limits the formation of carbon deposits. These qualities are determined by two procedures that determine respectively the smoke point and the luminometer index. 

The size of the leakage was determined as follows. Radiation detectors were mounted on the inlet of the first side, and the outlet of the second side of the heat exchanger and at additional locations for control. A short pulse of Kr-85 tracer (<0.1 sec) was injected into the feed stream, which gave rise to detector responses shown in figure 3. 

In petrochemical plants, fans are most commonly used ia air-cooled heat exchangers that can be described as overgrown automobile radiators (see HeaT-EXCHANGEtechnology). Process fluid ia the finned tubes is cooled usually by two fans, either forced draft (fans below the bundle) or iaduced draft (fans above the bundles). Normally, one fan is a fixed pitch and one is variable pitch to control the process outlet temperature within a closely controlled set poiat. A temperature iadicating controller (TIC) measures the outlet fluid temperature and controls the variable pitch fan to maintain the set poiat temperature to within a few degrees. 

There are three heat-transfer modes, ie, conduction, convection, and radiation, each of which may play a role in the selection of a heat exchanger for a particular appHcation. The basic design principles of heat exchangers are also important, as are the analysis methods employed to determine the right size heat exchanger. 

Because the evaporation of the solvent is an endothermic process, heat must be suppHed to the system, either through conduction, convection, radiation, or a combination of these methods. The total energy flux into a unit area of coating, is the sum of the fluxes resulting from conduction, convection, and radiation (see Heat exchange technology, HEAT thansfer). 

The simplest configuration for a recuperative heat exchanger is the metallic radiation recuperator (Fig. 27-57). The inner tube carries the hot exhaust gases and the outer tube carries the combustion air. The bulk of the heat transfer from the hot gases to the surface of the inner tube is by radiation, whereas that from the inner tube to the cold combustion air is predominantly by convection. 

Air cooled heat exchangers will continue to operate (but at reduced capacity) due to radiation and natural convection air circulation should a power failure occur. 

For each layer the energy conservation equation is solved. The individual terms are the absorbed radiation in the layer and the radiative and convective heat exchange to the adjacent panes, to the room, or to the exterior.
