Heat Plate Spiral

AI Thread Summary

There are no specific design standards for spiral plate heat exchangers that are directly comparable to TEMA for shell and tube heat exchangers. The discussion seeks clarification on whether "spiral plate" refers to helical type baffles and requests a description of spiral plate heat exchangers. It also distinguishes between thermal analysis and structural (stress) analysis, similar to TEMA's approach. Understanding these aspects is crucial for effective design and analysis of spiral plate heat exchangers. The conversation highlights the need for standardized guidelines in this area.

Hi guys !
Is there any Standards for thermal designing of spiral plate heat exchanger, like TEMA for shell and tube heat exchangers ?

By Spiral plate, do you mean helical type baffles? can you describe a spiral plate heat exchanger, and are you asking about the thermal analysis, or structural (stress) analysis as in TEMA?

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Technical Analysis on Titan Sub (Titanic Sub)'

TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
