The course aims to provide knowledge of heat transfer equipment, such as the classic tube heat exchangers, plate exchangers, Compact Heat Exchangers; than students study the direct contact heat exchangers, such as evaporative cooling and condensers; finally the course analyzes the thermal design of recuperators and their proper use in plants.
The course consists of lectures and practical applications.
Heat exchangers: Classification. Logarithmic mean temperature difference. Efficiency. NTU. Check operating conditions of a heat exchanger. Influence of fouling on heat exchange performance. Cross flow heat exchangers. Compact heat exchangers. Plate heat exchangers. Direct contact heat exchangers: evaporative cooling and condensers. Thermal design of recuperators.

Oral examinations are planned after preparing a written report on the exercises undertaken.
The exam consists in an oral test in which, for every matter of the course, are formulated questions or simple exercises
Pre-requisites :
Students can take the Heat Exchanger examination if they have acquired of at least 10 credits on fundamental aspects However, they should have a positive figure for the exams of Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Physics
