Summary: A prediction model for crystallization fouling was proposed based on the Kern-Seaton model. The model can predict the changes in fouling resistance during the fouling process and is applicable to actual industrial processes, especially for turbulent flow. It provides a more convenient way to predict fouling in heat exchangers without requiring a large amount of measured data for fitting.

Summary: By altering the configuration of the inlet flow channel, the heat transfer and pressure drop of water flow in double vertical coils and a shell heat exchanger were investigated under 28 kHz ultrasound. The position of activated ultrasonic transducers at P1-P9 was examined for its effects. The results showed that modifying the inlet flow configuration from two to four channels enhanced the Nusselt number by 11.6% on the shell side and increased the heat transfer capability by approximately 9% with ultrasonic irradiation.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of an axial-electromagnetic field treatment device (AEFTD) with different electromagnetic frequencies on calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystallization fouling on the tube side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The results showed that the AEFTD effectively reduced fouling resistance and slowed down the growth rate of CaCO3 fouling. The application of the AEFTD enhanced heat transfer and favored the formation of vaterite instead of calcite, which facilitated the removal of fouling by turbulent flow.

Summary: Researchers have conducted numerous studies on active and passive methods to improve thermal performance and increase heat transfer in internal flows. Different geometries and configurations of turbulators have been proposed for optimal performance in heat exchangers. However, there is limited research on turbulators with equal obstruction inside the tube and aerodynamic geometry. This study investigates the effect of stimulating the boundary layer of the internal flow on heat transfer and flow characteristics, using a pipe with ring-shaped turbulators and equal blocking area.

Summary: Experimental tests were conducted to extend the database for evaporation of flowing isobutane and propylene in compact internally enhanced surfaces, with comparisons of heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops between microfinned tubes and a smooth tube. Results showed that propylene had higher heat transfer coefficients and lower pressure drops compared to isobutane, with nucleate boiling dominant for propylene and convective heat transfer dominant for isobutane. Microfinned tubes tended to have maximum heat transfer coefficients, while the accuracy of correlations for these tubes was shown to be highly dependent on testing conditions and tube characteristics.

Summary: In situ study of emulsion polymerization fouling at hot interfaces using QCM-D was conducted. The fouling kinetics and surface stabilization were quantified with the QCM. It was observed that a film with a thickness of less than 1 µm can stabilize the surface against the deposition of thicker layers. Furthermore, the increase in resonance bandwidth prior to the main transition was attributed to the first contact of coagulum with the surface. The QCM-D technique proved effective in observing and quantifying the fouling at hot interfaces.

Summary: The combination of spray drying and steam-assisted crystallization (SAC) is effective in addressing the limitations of low yields, separation problems, and high amounts of waste in hydrothermal synthesis of nanosized zeolites. Through spray drying and SAC conversion, the amorphous material can be transformed into zeolite particles without the need for additional template at temperatures between 300 and 400 degrees C. Kinetic studies reveal that it takes 4 to 8 days to achieve 100% crystalline product formation. This work demonstrates the usefulness of spray drying and SAC as tools in supplementing the hydrothermal synthesis of nanosized zeolites.

Summary: Successfully dealing with complex fouling problems requires a good understanding based on a wide range of additional data. Process data can be utilized to better understand and predict fouling in an apparatus or a production plant. We propose a systematic approach to generate training data in a pipe fitting, which can be used before utilizing the entire data set of the production plant for fouling prediction. The temperature-based detection of heat transfer resistance and particle deposition in the pipe fitting provides reproducible results for model training.

Summary: This study investigates the dryout of liquid film and the role of disturbance wave frequency. Experimental results indicate that the heat transfer coefficient associated with optimal boiling conditions is maximized when the surface is dry 5% of the time, independent of pulse amplitude and frequency. Liquid-film measurements, dryout statistics, and direct observation suggest that disturbance-wave frequency can be manipulated by density-wave oscillations in the flow field.

The researchers conducted an experimental investigation in a large-scale water tunnel, analyzing heat and flow fields using Laser-induced Fluorescence (LIF) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The findings show that factors such as canyon configuration, buoyant force, and approaching flow magnitude significantly influence fluid flow in street canyons, and the morphology of the street canyon dominates ventilation rate and heat flux. For example, changing the aspect ratio of a street canyon can lead to a significant change in air ventilation rate, ranging from 0.02 to 1.5 under the same flow conditions.
