4 Executive Summary The forehand task appointed to the research group is to improve the production process of dye being produced in the company pilot plant. We approached this problem is a methodical fashion; aiming to understand the equipment we re working with, in great depth. The Helicoil and Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger models the equipment used for production of the dye. This consists of a Helicoil heat exchanger integrated with a Shell & Tube heat exchanger, which allows for two configurations each for the tube side and the shell side. The variables we could vary include configuration of the tubes, direction of flow, flow rate and temperature of stream. This experiment performed collected and tabulated the temperature & pressure at various points of the heat exchanger. Data was recorded for the four possible configurations of the Shell & Tube side with the respective direction of flow (co-current or counter-current). The flow rate and temperature of the exit stream of water was also tabulated and this energy (fusion-vaporization) was calculated and compared with the energy required to raise the temperature of our fluid. The heat transfer efficiency was calculated using this relationship as a fundamental. Following on the primary objective of this experiment, to maintain a steady flow of temperature sensitive dye at 70 F & a flow rate below 8 GPM, we compared our calculated efficiencies at relative configurations & flow rates. The experiment concluded that a flow rate of 8 GPM & counter-current configuration will yield the most efficient conversion rate, amounting to minimal loss of heat, and therefore increased efficiency in production & lower costs. While the results of this experiment identified a quantitative value for the flow rate and a specific configuration as most suited for maximum efficiency in production of our dye, it is recommended that further experiments be performed investigating these parameters with fluids of different constituency. 4
5 Introduction The environmentally friendly dye being produced in the pilot plant by our company is periodically failing quality inspections, which leads to loss of product and rising operational costs. Insufficient reactor temperature control seems to be a plausible cause for the denaturation of the enzyme being produced, which must be maintained at a temperature below 70 F and a flow rate below 10.0 GPM. Above this temperature, denaturation of the enzymatic additive in the dye produces a toxic white product, which is potentially dangerous and costly to dispose of. This experiment aims to identify the properties of the Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger to keep the temperature of the dye stable and below 70 F. The end goal of this experiment is to maintain a steady supply of industrial grade dye to decrease overall costs per volume of dye, thereby increasing profits. This challenge represents problem related to the field of chemical engineering, different subjects of chemical engineering are applied in this experiment. As chemical engineers, different information gathered from the following courses, transport process of fluid mechanics, transport process heat and mass transfer, and thermodynamics will be used to solve this problem. We believe by working with this challenge will be able to learn the effect of the heat loss from the materials used in the system, and how does changing the mass transfer and flow rates affect the efficiency of the system used and the effect on the final temperature of the dye. Background In order to achieve the end goal of this experiment, to maintain the dye under the temperature required, and to be able to operate the system under 10 GPM, different heat coefficients of varying configurations of the system will be calculated. Using these various configurations of the Shell side and Tube side, and changing the direction of flow and the inlet between cold and hot water, the goal of this experiment will be met. Tube 1 will be calibrated such that the tube-side will have hot water, the shell side will have cold water, and the flow is co-current. The cold water flow rate and hot water flow rate will be set at 8 GPM and as soon as equilibrium is achieved, data including the flow rate, pressures and temperatures will be tabulated into LabView. The hot water flow rate will be tested at 8 GPM, 12 GPM & 15 GPM while the cold water flow rate will be set at almost 6 GPM. The following equation for heat transfer between bodies, which is dependent on the mass, specific heat capacity and the difference between the initial and final operating temperatures. q = m C p (T o - T i ) Equation 1 5
6 To account for the various variables affecting heat exchange, determining the efficiency of this heat exchanger will also be carried out. This is the percentage ratio of the heat transferred from the hot water to the cold water. Once the energy balance is performed and the values for the overall heat transfer coefficient, efficiency and heat transfer rate are found, then they can be used to calibrate our equipment to produce a uniform flow of quality dye below 70 F. Experimental Method In this experiment different configurations of the helicoil have been tested at different flow rates to study which one is the most efficient and suitable for the objectives. Before starting the experiment, the system must be set up fully, and the temperature thermocouples and gauge pressure measurement tools are ensured to be working the properly. Then the operating procedure has been started. The first configuration (Tube-Hot and Shell-Cold in co-current) at flow rates of 8 and 15 GPM has been operated, initially. As soon as the steam is supplied to the system, the computer will start taking measurements of the system. When the system reached steady state, a condensate of the system was collected. The condensate weight was measured, in order to calculate the flow rate of the condensate. This along with the data collected using LabView enabled us to determine the efficiency and heat loss of our system. The second configuration was exactly the same in a counter-current flow, keeping the Tube-Hot and Shell- Cold. The third and fourth configurations were similar, but with changing the tube side hot to tube side cold. All the data of these runs were tested to look for the best match for the needed system, keeping in mind the efficiency of all of them. 6
7 Figure 1. Flow sheet diagram of the experiment Results and Analysis Four configurations were tested in this experiment. Two co-current configurations, one where the tube side is hot and the shell side is cold. The other co-current configuration has a cold tube side and a hot shell side. The other two configurations are the same, except that they flow countercurrent to one another. The data for the temperatures was collected via Labview with the aid of several thermocouples attached to the system. For the cocurrent configurations, three flow rates of hot water were used: 8.38 (±0.165) GPM, (±0.153) GPM, and (±0.083) GPM. These values were obtained via calibration of the pump feed. Starting with TS (Tube Side) hot and SS (Shell Side) cold with a flowrate of 8.38 GPM for the hot water, and with a cold water flow rate of 6.65 GPM, Equation 1 was used to perform an energy balance to find how efficient our heat transfer system was. This efficiency can be obtained by dividing the energy that actually transferred over the energy that should ve transferred, ideally. Temperature difference (obtained from Labview), flow rate (obtained from calibration and LabView), and specific heat of water were taken into consideration while 7
8 performing this energy balance. Different configurations yielded different efficiencies of heat transfer, the tables below summarize these values obtained for all configurations that were treated similarly for getting an efficiency of heat transfer. Table 1. The efficiencies concerning the TS hot and SS cold for cocurrent flow Hot water Flowrate (GPM) Cold water flowrate (GPM) Efficiency 8.38 (±0.165) 6.43 (±0.033) 90.6% (±0.153) 6.61 (±0.031) 81.4% (±0.083) 6.65 (±0.0302) 66.5% Table 2.

9 After a great deal of calculations, research, and energy balances, the tables above have been conducted in the hopes of properly analyzing and comparing different configurations of heat transfer. One trend that can be seen is that countercurrent flow gave a much higher efficiency than the co-current transfer of heat, meaning more heat was transferred in countercurrent configurations. Another clearer observation concerns the varying hot water flow rates, three flow rates were used to properly examine what would happen to the efficiency of the heat transfer if the flow rate was changed. The results suggest, as the tables above show, that the higher the flow rate, the more the system will lose heat to its surroundings, and the lower the efficiency will be. Ultimately, if the efficiency is low, the rate of heat transfer will also be low. Conclusions After analyzing the data, the trends and patterns of the system have been studied. From the results it was concluded that as the flow rate increases, the efficiency drops. Furthermore, it was observed that countercurrent flow gives more efficient results. Corresponding to the main objective of achieving the maximum efficiency, while keeping the dye under the given temperature of 70F, and to keep the flow rate below 10 GPM, the system should be operated at 8 GPM. The efficiency of the system will be high at this flow rate, and satisfies the limit of the flow rate given. For the best configuration, it was found that operating the system in a countercurrent flow will help to increase the efficiency of the system. The results implied a conclusion that whether the tube side was cold or hot, made no difference in the efficiency of the heat transfer. Using the information stated, the company will be able to heat the dye to the point required, under 70F with losing minimal energy to the surroundings, and will maintain the texture of the dye and its quality. Recommendations This experiment varied the 4 configurations of the helicoil and Shell & Tube heat exchanger, at flow rates below 10 GPM using water as a substitute for the dye. The bounds of the experiment, the range within which we varied our flow rates, configurations & temperatures are limited by the specific production of the dye. It is recommended that this experiment be performed again, replacing the water with the actual dye as the working fluid. This will allow us to better predict the exact conversions and efficiency rates particular to the nature of the dye. The experiment was performed in small scale, and the amount of product obtained as well as time of processing was limited. Further experiments are recommended, with longer running times. This will result in multiple batches of product dye, which can further be analyzed for consistency, as that is also an important aspect of production and quality control to be considered. In a nutshell, the recommendations for this experiment focus on replicating the experiment with conditions closer to the actual large-scale production of the dye, allowing for more precise measurements and hence greater efficiency in the production process for the pilot plant. 9

Safety Analysis The Safety Analysis is a crucial component of our experiment, as this experiment consists of potentially harmful fluids, gases and parts at very hot temperatures. Rubber gloves, safety hat and protective eye wear should be worn at all times to protect against burns on the hand and eyes, and possible injury to the head. Additionally, precaution should be taken to avoid contact with the boiler, steam and any other hot parts including containers for the hot water. As another precaution, the users should wear close top shoes and the minimal bare skin should be exposed. As part of data measurement and calculation in our experiment, we use electrical equipment such as the thermometer, computer, stopwatch etc. Care should be taken not to expose these items and their electrical circuit to steam/fluids to avoid electrical damage, shock and loss of data. At the time of system startup and shutdown, it is crucial to check Appendix 1 and make sure the appropriate valves are closed and the system is depressurized before any connections are broken/ hoses are removed. 14
