==Introduction==
===News===
* '''2011/10/27''': Last scheduled practical for the 2011 academic year.
* '''2011/10/27''': CLB 321 - Heat Transfer Experiment page created.

===Background===
* The heat exchange practical was established in 2010 and is the latest addition to the [[http://ragnarok/wiki/CLB_321 CLB 321]] practicals.
* The experimental setup was designed, built and commissioned by Paul Sonnendecker and [http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=12428&sub=1&parentid=2063&subid=2102&ipklookid=7 Dr. Johan Labuschagne] to introduce a visually aided experience with some of the mechanisms of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer heat transfer] taught in [[http://ragnarok/wiki/CHO_321 CIO 321]].
* The setup consists of two plate-and-frame and two shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

==Apparatus==
===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_and_tube_heat_exchanger Shell-and-tube Heat Exchangers]===
* The acrylic shell-and-tube heat exchangers were designed to conform to the design procedures stipulated in Coulson & Richardson's Chemical Engineering Design vol. 6 (2005). The design procedure is for industrial size heat exchangers and was adapted to the lab scale versions currently used to mimic the industry scenario as best we could.
* Only four of these heat exchangers were manufactured and these only vary in tube material and configuration (i.e. co- and counter-current and/or 1:1 and 1:2 shell and tube pass(es)).
