Heat Transfer Dynamics Augmentation in Process Industries

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Explain thermal/flow fundamentals that govern augmentation effectiveness and penalties.
• Apply PEC to compare techniques and select an optimal solution for a given service.
• Design/retrofit single
• phase enhancements (fins, inserts, swirl/vortex devices, additives).
• Enhance two
• phase heat transfer (boiling/condensation) with treated/rough surfaces and advanced methods.
• Evaluate pressure
• drop/pumping
• power impacts and specify pumps/compressors accordingly.
• Diagnose deterioration (fouling, maldistribution, vibration) and restore performance using augmentation.
• Plan operations/maintenance for enhanced surfaces (cleaning, inspection, reliability).
• Build a cost
• benefit case and roadmap for augmentation projects and retrofits.
• Integrate active techniques (vibration, rotating surfaces, EM fields) where justified.
