TT-34 Modeling safety tube heat exchangers
February 02, 2026
Component: Xist Date posted: 2 February 2026 Specialized safety tube designs for shell-and-tube heat exchangers are essential for applications where leak prevention and detection are critical. These exchangers feature coaxial tubes, with a process tube tightly fitted inside a safety sleeve. One of the tubes incorporates a surface enhancement: either the...

AC-21 Development of Enhancements for Air-cooled Condensers
February 25, 2025
Under the sponsorship of the RAPID Institute, HTRI investigated the use of fluttering reed and acoustic actuation technologies to enhance the performance of air-cooled condensers. Performed on a “radiator-sized” brazed plate-fin test exchanger in the Scaled-down Air Cooler Unit (SACU), testing demonstrated that the fluttering reed technology enhances heat transfer despite imperfect flow passages. While...

TE-7 Review of Intube Static Mixers for Heat Transfer Applications
April 23, 2024
Inline static mixers promote the radial spreading of momentum and heat and are thus useful in enhancing heat transfer, especially in viscous laminar flows. After a brief review of the physics of plain tube laminar flow heat transfer, this report includes classifications of these mixers based on their construction and presents some...
