This page is still under construction.
Welcome to the CLB 321 - Heat Tranfer Experiment page. This page gives the historical background, apparatus used, experimental procedures and technical information of the 3rd year heat transfer practical.

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 [CLB 321] practicals.
- The experimental setup was designed, built and commissioned by Paul Sonnendecker and Dr. Johan Labuschagne to introduce a visually aided experience with some of the mechanisms of heat transfer taught in [CIO 321].
- The setup consists of two plate-and-frame and two shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
Apparatus
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 vary in tube material and configuration (i.e. co- and counter-current and/or 1:1 and 1:2 shell and tube pass(es)).
