Heat Transfer
The radiation heat flux from a heating element at a temperature of 800°C, in a furnace maintained at 300°C is 8 kW/m². The flux, when the element temperature is increased to 1000°C for the same furnace temperature is
Presence of a non-condensible gas decreases the condensing film co-efficient
Gases under high pressure are routed through the tube side, because high pressure gases are corrosive in nature
Gases to be heated/cooled is normally routed through the shell side, because the corrosion caused by the cooling water or steam condensate remain localised to the tubes
