Hi Chet, I get the idea: If the heat transfer coefficient is much higher on one side than on the other I can neglect its contribution to the thermal resistance.
However, The Methane/Ethane side is not a non-condensing gas, it's a cryogenic liquid. Will the heat transfer coefficient of the...
Is it a problem to calculate a heat transfer coefficient, or the prandtl number, or the specific heat of a fluid during phase change? Any of those would answer my question.
Hi Chet, I'm just trying to make a preliminary calculation on a LNG gasification heat exchanger. I tried to find a numerical solution for my problem but I am interested in finding the local heat transfer coefficient in the region where Ethane undergoes a g -> l phase change.
Im calculating for...
I have a problem in finding the heat transfer coefficient of a heat exchanger in which Ethane undergoes a phase transition. I would like to find the Prandtl number of Ethane in the phase transition region. So far I thought I would use the following:
Pr_av = x * Pr_g + (1-x) Pr_l
Pr_av =...
