Overview
Explore a comprehensive 25-minute lecture from NPTEL's 'Surface Facilities for Oil & Gas Handling' course that delves deep into heat exchanger fundamentals, with particular emphasis on fire tube designs. Master the three primary modes of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation - and their applications within fire tube systems. Learn to perform heat flux rate calculations for industrial fluids including water, glycol, and amine while understanding thermal concepts through electrical analogies. Examine radial heat transfer through pipes, thermal resistance calculations, and composite heat transfer media principles. Apply this knowledge to solve practical industry challenges involving water cut in emulsions, heat energy determinations, steam condensation rates, and LMTD calculations for parallel flow heat exchangers. Gain certification-eligible knowledge recognized by UGC and AICTE for course credits in Indian Universities through NPTEL's certification program.
