Hi guys, I need help with heat transfer calculations The scenario is : Installing a coil around a hot pipe and extract the heat from the hot pipe to heat the fluid flowing through the coil. The whole assembly is insulated. I need methods/formulas to calculate the amount of heat transferred so...

This is really helpful. Thank you :D

Yes, I agree its a waste. I'm urging the people involved to use this heat in other processes at the site. Area is a major concern here and that is the reason why I'm interested in the area the cooling tower would occupy

Hi guys, I have question regarding cooling towers. I have been asked to check if cooling towers would be efficient and economical to cooling system for a power plant to be installed in Weymouth, England. As per my calculations, heat to be rejected (in the condenser) from the system is 20 MW...

Thank you for your insight. Yes, I agree this is highly impractical. My first suggestion to the operator is to use sea water for cooling but they are a bit hesitant in installing a sea water cooling system there. Sea water is at a temp of 9 deg C. I'm positive about my numbers. The organic...

Sorry about posting it twice. I'm doing a study to harness geothermal energy from matured oil field. Lots of water is produced with oil and idea is to use organic rankine cycle to convert that to electricity. The problem is that there are no good sources for cooling and I was considering dumping...

Could anyone please help me with the area of heat sink required if I want to dump heat 6 feet below the surface? The heat to be rejected is 20000 kW Temperature of the fluid has to be dropped from 30 deg C to 19 deg C. I need rough estimates of the area required to lay down looped pipelines to...
