Pinch Technology - 70 - Print File

This document discusses heat transfer between streams using the second law of thermodynamics. It provides an example where the maximum heat transfer between streams H1 and C2 is 45 kW, which is less than the 120 kW limit. It then discusses different graphical methods for presenting heat exchanger processes, including co-current vs counter-current configurations and the use of composite curves to determine heat transfer, utility needs, and minimum approach temperatures. Finally, it mentions alternative approaches to graphical methods like heat cascades and linear programming.

Quiz-02

Solution

Heat Transfer With 2nd Law


Q: How much energy can be transferred from streams H1 to stream C2? 100 C 160 C H1

C2 210 C 130 C

Approach temperature = 0 C Tcoldest Thotest = 130 C = 160 C


(160 130) * 2 = 60 kW (160 130) * 1.5 = 45 kW

Released heat from H1 Consumed heat to C2

Maximum heat transfer = 45 kW << 120 kW

Graphical Presentation
210 C T Cold 160 C 130 C 100 C 0 120 Hot

Cocurrent Heat Exchanger Picture does not give the right insight

Graphical Presentation

100 C 0 120 200 H

Shift cold line to the right until TH1 (H) > TC2(H) for all H
For more than one hot and one cold stream similar approach

T Dependency Energy
T = 0 is not realistic for heat exchanger Infinite area necessary

Practical solution: Choose Tmin e.g. 10 oC

Qtransferred hot to cold = f(Tmin)

Steps: Choose Tmin Shift curve until Thot Tcold Tmin at any H. Construct maximal
Process to process heat transfer Hot utility need Cold utility need

Composite Curve
Composite curves gives insight. But graphical in inaccurate and time consuming Alternative approaches: Heat Cascade
