FIN TUBES INCREASES THE SURFACE AREA OF HEATING.
SO FOR THE REQUIRED QUANTITY OF HEAT TRANSFER THE EXCHANGER
MAY BE DESIGNED SMALL IN COMPARED WITH FINLESS TUBE
EXCHANGER

Answer / s.shanmugam

Fin tubes are usually used for cooling.As we see in
automobile engines constructed with fins.

Answer / anshuman

it depends on the kind of liquid to be heated and steam
requirment if high heat transfer is required with low
cosumpsion of steam we can use fin tubes

Answer / jagadesh

it is not required to heat up liquid in fin tubes by steam
because liuid has to pass trhough tube side. so if
temperature difference is more steam will undergoes
condensation and will lead high pressure drop and less heat
transfer.

Answer / dp

It depends on the htc values on the shell side. If HTC on
the shell side is higher than the tube side adding tubes
wont make much difference in terms of total heat transfer.
If the HTC value on the tube side is higher than the shell
side, adding fins will enhance the total heat transfer. For
suppose if steam is flowing on the tube side and its phase
changes during the process its good to provide fins over the
tubes. If it is other way adding fins wont make much
difference except increasing cost of the exchanger.

Answer / ahmedcool

FINS ARE USED TO INCREASE SURFACE AREA,IS LIKELY TO
TRANSFER HEAT FROM HOTTER BODY TO COLDER BODY.FINS ARE NOT
REQUIRED IN CASE OF STEAM HEATING.

Answer / amol deshpande

Yes, fin tubes are necessary. Fin tubes increases the heat surface area and reduces the thickness of shell wall required.

NATURAL GAS ENGINEERING - QUESTION 26.3 : The United States of America Energy Information Administration reports the following emissions in million metric tons of carbon dioxide in the world for year 2012 : Natural gas : 6799, petroleum : 11695, coal : 13787. Coal-fired electric power generation emits around 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide for every megawatt hour generated, which is almost double the carbon dioxide released by a natural gas-fired electric plant per megawatt hour generated. If 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1 pound = 0.4536 kg, estimate the total energy generated by natural gas in the world for year 2012, in gigawatt hour.

REACTION ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 13.3 : The half-life for first order reaction could be described in the differential equation dC / dt = -kC where k is a constant, C is concentration and t is time. (a) Find the equation of C as a function of t. (b) Find the half life for such reaction or the time required to reduce 50 % of the initial concentration, where k = 0.139 per minute. (c) When the initial concentration Co is 16 mol / cubic metre, how long does the reaction required to achieve the final concentration of 1 mol / cubic metre?

In a Laplace Transform Table, the Laplace transfer function of f(t) is F(s). When d(t) = f(t) then 1 = F(s). When x(t) = f(t) then X(s) = F(s). If d(t) is the impulse of a spring when d(t) = kx(t), then derive the equation for the impulse of a spring as X(s) in term of k. Next question : A controller has a transfer function a and the other controller has a transfer function b. The overall transfer function of both controllers is ab. What is the transfer function overall when both controllers have similar transfer function 1 / (Cs k)?

Question 94 - The resolution of separation, Rs for chromatography is given by the formula Rs = (difference in retention time) / (average width at the base). In a chromatogram, 3 peaks a, b and c are found. Average widths W at the bases of the solutes are : Wa = 20 s, Wb = 40 s, Wc = 30 s. Resolutions of separation, Rs for solutes b and c in comparison to a are 2 and 4 respectively. The differences in retention times T for b and c in comparison to a are (Tb - Ta) and (Tc - Ta), Ta = Tc - Tb : (a) Form 2 equations involving Rs as a function of Wa, Wb, Wc, Ta, Tb and Tc. (b) Find the values of Ta, Tb and Tc.
