The economics of industrial production, limitation of global energy supply, and the realities of environmental conservation are an enduring concern for all industries. Wherever you turn, there’s another entreaty to save energy, reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment for posterity. Pinch analysis is a tools used to design a heat exchanger networks (HEN) that reduce the energy usage. This paper will be about brief introduction for the pinch analysis, application of the second law of thermodynamics in design heat exchanger network
Pinch Analysis:
Pinch technology is the technology that provides a systematic methodology for energy saving in processes and total sites. The methodology is based upon first low and second low of thermodynamic. Applying Pinch technology to heat exchanger network HEN synthesis.
The pinch analysis uses Temperature-Enthalpy (T-H) diagram, the composite curves. the temperature axis represents the available driving forces for heat transfer, while the enthalpy axis shows the supply and demand of heat. For processes with multiple cold streams, the individual process thermal duties can be combined into a single “cold composite curve” drawn on a Temperature-Enthalpy T-H diagram, which represents the enthalpy demand profile of the process. Similarly, all the thermal duties for hot streams can be combined into a single “hot composite curve”, which represents the enthalpy availability profile of the process.
Next step is recovering some heat from the hot streams to the cold streams. The optimum value of the Minimum Approach Temperature (∆Tmin) is first determined based on the economic tradeoff between cost savings from heat recovery and capital cost of the heat exchangers. The T-H curves are then ...

Conclusion:
The second low of thermodynamic can be used as tool to minimize the cost of utility in a heat exchanger network problem. Total low productions of entropy show a better utilization of the energy quality but with a high area cost. This can help Mathematical Programming Mode to control the entropy of the system rather than cost of the utility.
...he principle numbers of Froude, Reynolds and Weber. Mathematical model predicts the heat and mass transfer in numerical framework for both transports phenomena of relevance to the industry continuous casting tundish system. Additionally, it has an excellent agreement outlet temperature respond the step input temperatures in the inlet stream of water in the tundish model. The simulations of 8x8 grid and 16x16 grid are applied to obtain significant difference between the TAV maps in which both grids are computed by software represent the specific flow of the fluid in the model and the steel caster as the actual size system. Therefore, the physical and mathematical modeling is used as a guidance to build a model before the prototype is constructed in terms of calculation, measurement and determination of specific fluid flow, heat and mass transfer in the water model.
The simplified schematic diagram of the engine representing the heat exchanger and the pistons configuration of the system is as shown in figure 1 (Minassians & Sanders 2011). The gas circuit of the displacer subsystem is closed by means of tubing in order to provide a closed engine chamber. Both the displacer and the power piston have equal dimensions. In single-phase operation, the power piston interacts
Double pipe heat exchanger is used in chemical industry. When to construct this type of heat exchanger, the size of material that is considered since it affected the overall heat transfer. Basically the heat exchanger has two types that are parallel flow heat exchanger, counter flow heat exchanger and efficiency of counter flow heat exchanger is high than the parallel flow heat exchanger. So it is widely used. After few years of research the fins has introduce in heat exchangers for improve performance.
The advantage of measuring flow is that it can allocate heating costs. Not only that, it also improve process control, identify major energy users, monitor the results of process changes, check on steam boiler efficiency, identifying energy patterns through the day and provide management information.
This chart shows the relationship between the fanning friction factor and the Reynolds number over a wide range of flow rates, from which the roughness parameter (e/D) for the piping system can be estimated.

dwell on the factors that preclude the attainment of ideal-performance of the system. Analysis based on the combined first and second law of thermodynamics commonly known as availability analysis or exergy analysis is particularly suited for achieving more efficient resource use since it enables the locations, types and true magnitudes of waste and loss to be determined. This information is quite helpful for the design of thermal systems, for directing the efforts to reduce the sources of inefficiency in the existing systems and evaluate system economics. [1, 2 & 3].
The term extended surface is commonly used to depict an important special case involving heat transfer by conduction within a solid and heat transfer by convection (and/or radiation) from the boundaries of the solid. Extended surfaces are used to increase the surface area and to increase the total rate of heat transfer. A temperature gradient exist between two different temperature surfaces for heat transfer. The temperature distribution along the fin or pin must be known to determine the heat transfer from the surface to its surroundings. Plate fins are mostly used in aircrafts, cryogenic and other industries. By considering the insulated tip extended surface the temperature distribution in terms of hyperbolic function expressed as
Some of the fluid flow, heat flow and particle flow problems are the most complex problems. It is difficult to find the analytic solution of these problems due to their extra-ordinary complexity. Scientists and engineers are facing this problem from decades and then they turned to the numerical methods. By developing increasingly better numerical schemes, researchers have been able to solve increasingly more complex flow problems [11]. The heat diffusion equations are used to describe the flow of heat. In chapter 2 we use Nodal Integral Method to solve the heat diffusi...
Let us consider the heat flow in a bar or rod along the x-axis. Consider a rod of homogeneous material of density is ρ (gm⁄〖cm〗^3 ) and having a constant cross-sectional area A (〖cm〗^2 ). Let c be the specific heat and k be thermal conductivity of material. We suppose that the sides of the bar are insulated and the loss of heat from the sides by conduction or radiations is negligible. Take an end of the bar as the origin and the direction of heat flow as the positive x-axis.
Engineers’ main job is to solve problems and design things that make people’s life easier. One of the problems refrigeration engineers had to deal with at the beginning of the 20th century was how to ma...
The first and second law of thermodynamics govern the work process of a heat engine. The first law is the application of conservation of energy to the system, and the second sets parameters on the possible efficiency of the machine and determines the direction of energy flow. An indispensable component of a heat engine is that two temperatures are involved. At one stage the system is heated and cooled at another.

turbine via interceptor valves and control valves and after expanding enters the L.P. turbine stage via 2 numbers of cross over pipes. In the L.P. stage the steam expands in axially opposite direction to counteract the trust and enters the condenser placed directly below the L.P. turbine. The cooling water flowing throughout the condenser tubes condenses the steam and the condensate collected in the hot well of the condenser. The condensate collected is pumped by means of 3*50% duty condensate pumps through L.P. heaters to deaerator from where the boiler feed pump delivers the water to boiler through H.P. heaters thus forming a closed
