A : The correlations at present available fall in general into two classes-one using main stream properties and the other using film properties.The former results in two curves, one for heating and another for cooling, while other effects of temperature difference between tube wall and fluid are inadequately taken into account. The use of film properties results in a single curve for heating and cooling only if the data under consideration are taken from fluids with nearly the same temperature coefficient of viscosity. Therefore the method of determining this so called film temperature should vary for each fluid of different temperature coefficient of viscosity.
2. Q : how we can calculate pressure drops for turbulent flow with reasonable accuracy? A : Pressure drops for turbulent flow can be calculated with reasonable accuracy by using Colburns chart for the mean temperature.
3. Q : what are advantages from using vapor re-use process?
A :. By means of the processes described here, it is possible to reduce this amount of heat greatly, to reduce the size of distilling columns required for the separation, and to make possible the operation of some distillation processes without the use of water as a condensing or cooling medium.
4. Q : why heat transfer and pressure drop correlations become important topic?
A : DESIGNERS of heat transfer equipment have long felt a need for heat transfer and pressure drop correlations which would give identical formulas for heating and cooling and at the same time evaluate the effect of temperature difference.
5. Q : what kind of problem that can occur in heat-exchanger design?
A : For problems in heat-exchanger design, where a fluid flows through a bundle of tubes in contact with another fluid, an average tube fluid temperature, different from the arithmetic except when the temperature rise is quite small, should be used for evaluating the fluid properties.
