what is the differance between Horizental and vertical heat
exchanger?

Answer / totti
main difference b/w horizontal and vertical heat exchanger
is "residence time" fluid which flow in horizontal heat
exchanger gets more residence time as compared to vertical
heat exchanger.

Answer / sandeep singh
construction wise both r same but functionally they differ.vertical is mainly used when less floor area availible.and vertical required higher pumping cost also good for handling heat sensible material as resident time is much lower in comparision to the horizontal one.

Answer / daya gamane
In vertical heat exchanger film-wise condensation occurs while in horizontal heat exchanger drop wise condensation occur

Answer / ossus
1.Thermosyphon type HE is vertical HE and Kettle type HE is horizontal HE.
2.in horizontal position, pressure drop is negligible and in vertical position,pressure drop is significant and high.
3. If viscosity of bottom product of distillation column is very high then vertical position preferred and if low then horizontal position preferred.
4 in vertical position high circulation of fluid of possible and low circulation in horizontal position.

Answer / vishwarup sane
1. As the tubes are smooth, the condensation occurs on the surface of tubes, which makes the film over the surface of tubes leads to increase in thickness, as the thickness increases it's acts as a insulation and lower the effective heat transfer coefficient.
2. In vertical heat exchangers as we go downward the thickness of the film increases resulting lowers the heat transfer coefficient.
3. In horizontal heat exchanger the formation of film on the surface of tubes is there but the not as that much of vertical heat exchanger, so the heat transfer coefficient is higher in horizontal type heat exchanger than vertical type heat exchanger.

Answer / yousef
the vertical is better than horizontal when using steam as service side

Answer / magesh
Both are the same. Only the way it is erected. Normally HXs are placed horizontally. But in case of space constraints they can be erected vertically. In such a case other changes like the head of pump pumping fluid to the vertical HX may change.

Answer / nagarajan
both are same only difference is the flow of the fluids us

Answer / shravan kumar
if an exchanger is placed horizontally then it is called
horizontal heat echanger. Simillarly of vertical heat
exchanger.

What are some common problems associated with dense phase pneumatic conveying?
Question 67 – In order to predict the wastewater production, the population number has to be understood. The population data is : 72000 (for year 1961 or P-1961), 85000 (for year 1971 or P-1971), 110500 (for year 1981 or P-1981). (a) Find the average population increase, or [ (P-1981 - P-1971) + (P-1971 - P-1961) ] / 2. (b) Find the average percentage population increase, or [ (P-1981 - P-1971) / P-1971 + (P-1971 - P-1961) / P-1961 ] / (2) X 100. (c) Find the incremental increase or P-1981 - 2 (P-1971) + P-1961. (d) Let Po = P-1981. After 2 decades or n = 2, the population is P-2001. By using arithmetical increase method, find P-2001 = Po + n (Answer for a). (e) By using incremental increase method, find P-2001 = (Answer of d) + n (n + 1) (Answer of c) / 2. (f) By using geometrical increase method, find P-2001 = Po [ 1 + (Answer of b) / 100 ] ^ n where ^ is power sign, or 1 ^ 2 = 1 x 1 = 1. (g) If the actual P-2001 = 184000, which method of estimation is more accurate, based on your answer in (d), (e) and (f)?
Explain what is a good way to get started in doing a plant-wide steam consumption analysis?
respected sir,i have been selected in the written examination prelim (CHEMICAL) of RINL(RASHTRIYE ISPAT NIGAM LTD.) held on 20 JUNE, So please tell me which type of questions will be asked in 2nd stage written exam. plz send me last 2-3 years questions asked in RINL(written exam).
We are having proplem with the persperation smell in ETT/ECHO room in our cardiac hospital.The 2 Ton of AC is not conditioning the environment. We have to use exhaust fan to through out of the room bad air. Could anyone suggest how to coup with this effectively using chemical engineering. Any permanent solution to neutralise the bad smell.The Air freshners are not doing enough instead making a bad odour.
pls send me HPCL & reliance test paper for chemical engineering.....

QUANTUM CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 31.4 : In a rigid rotor model in quantum chemistry, the moment of inertia I is given by an Equation E as I = Ma x La x La + Mc x Lc x Lc = m x L x L, where m = (Ma x Mc) / (Ma + Mc) and L = La + Lc, m is the reduced mass, Ma is the mass of a, Mc is the mass of c, La is the radius of a from point O, Lc is the radius of c from point O. Prove by simplest method that Equation E is wrong.
