Thermal analysis of heat exchangers is crucial in both conventional and sustainable energy systems. However, traditional (non–dimensional) methods may be inadequate in certain scenarios, such as ...

The article presents mathematical modeling of the impact of fouling on heat transfer in shell-and-tube exchangers using analytical methods and an artificial neural network (ANN). The article shows the ...

Heat exchangers are vital equipment for power plant operation. Many different types of heat exchangers exist, but for applications that cannot afford cross contamination of shell-side and tube-side ...

Efficient heat transfer is a top priority for industrial equipment performance. If heat transfer is uneven or unpredictable, the results range from increased maintenance demands to reduced machine ...
