Course Outlines
Description of Thermal Equipment
- Roles and terminology of heat exchangers, furnaces and boilers.
- Design technology: working principles, organization of the flows of fluids, function of the constituent parts.
Heat Transfer
- Characteristics of the modes of heat transfer. Thermal flows.
- Conduction and convection: thermal potential, resistance, thermal conductivity, convection coefficient, special case of phase changes, overall exchange coefficient, activation of heat circulation, effects of fouling.
- Radiation: characteristics of the emission and absorption of radiation, special case of combustion gases, application to furnaces and boilers.
- Applications: analysis of the conditions of heat transfer through the thermal insulation of a
- furnace, in an exchange zone.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchange law in relation to the mode of fluids circulation: single counter-current
- exchanger, co-current, type 1-2 and 2-4 exchangers, arrangement of exchangers in series
- and in parallel.
- Special case of condensers, re-boilers and air coolers.
- Testing and monitoring of performances: influence of the installed exchange area and of
- fouling on heat exchanger performances.
- Applications: determination of the exchange area needed for a given service in relation to
- the circulation of fluids, monitoring fouling and predicting the performance of a group of heat
- exchangers.
Furnaces and Boilers
- Working conditions and distribution of the heat supply.
- Circulation of combustion gases, setting-up and adjustment of the draft.
- How combustion works: characteristics of industrial fuels, the working of burners.
- Monitoring and testing of combustion and firing.
- Recovery of the heat released by the burners: efficiency, possibilities for improvement and
- limits.
- Applications: analysis of the working conditions of a furnace, calculating its yield, study of
- heat exchanges in the radiation zone.
