Fouling factor
Due to various deposits, corrosion Represents an additional resistance to the heat flow Decreased performance Overall effect is usually represented by fouling
i -fluid enthalpy subscripts h and c refer to the hot and cold fluids i and o - fluid inlet and outlet conditions
If the fluids are not undergoing a phase change and constant specific heats are assumed
The heat exchanger is insulated from its surroundings, in which case the only heat exchange is between the hot and cold fluids. Axial conduction along the tubes is negligible. Potential and kinetic energy changes are negligible. The fluid specific heats are constant. The overall heat transfer coefficient is constant.
Selection
High/ Low pressure limits Thermal Performance Temperature ranges Product Mix (liquid/liquid, particulates or highsolids liquid) Pressure Drops across the exchanger Fluid flow capacity Cleanability, maintenance and repair Materials required for construction Ability and ease of future expansion
