“…Hence, Kazi et al (2009) proposed five steps that lead to the gradual development of deposits namely generation, transportation, attachment, removal, and aging. Abd-Elhady et al (2009) investigated the influence of flow direction with respect to gravity on particulate fouling of heat exchangers experimentally to determine the optimal flow direction in order to minimize fouling.…”

“…It results in the deposition of materials on the heat exchanger surface. This type of fouling is common for chemically sensitive materials when the fluid is heated to temperatures near its decomposition (degradation) temperature (Epstein, 1999;Kazi et al (2009). Coking of hydrocarbon material on the heat transfer surface is also a common chemical fouling problem.…”

“…Coking of hydrocarbon material on the heat transfer surface is also a common chemical fouling problem. Whereas, freezing fouling occurs when a portion of the hot stream is cooled to near the freezing point of one of its components, biological fouling occurs when biological organisms grow on heat transfer surfaces ( Kazi et al, 2009). The biological organisms include algae and other microbes such as barnacles and zebra mussels.…”

Heat exchangers as a heat transfer device has gained wide applications across different levels of domestic and industrial set-ups. Various studies have been carried out to study, analyse and predict its performance. However, one major phenomenon that limits heat exchanger performance is attributed to fouling. Based on this, various studies and approaches have focused on reduction, elimination and mitigation of fouling. This study therefore focused on this. It reviewed several attempts that have been carried out to understand and mitigate the incidents of fouling in heat exchangers. The study found that despite the existing models developed towards understanding fouling, there is no single model that has provided an accurate prediction of fouling in all the different types of heat exchangers. Also, majority of existing results have limited applications and some of the solutions are only peculiar to particular type of heat exchanger. Further to this, majority of the study results only pointed to small scale laboratory test schemes and there is absence of in-situ measurements that predicts actual (real life) service performance.

Heat exchanger is equipment used to transfer heat from one fluid to another. It has extensive domestic and industrial applications. Extensive technical literature is available on heat exchanger design, operation and maintenance, but it is widely scattered throughout the industrial bulletins, industrial design codes and standard, technical journals, etc. The purpose of this book chapter is to consolidate into basic background and concepts design of heat exchangers, operation, cleaning and green technology maintenance on heat exchanger closely related to the industrial practices.

The Inhibition of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose on Calcite Growth by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) effectively inhibits the growth of calcium carbonate fouling. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation is used to reveal the antifouling mechanism between SCMC and calcite surface. The configuration, radial distribution function, interaction energy between SCMC and calcite surface, and ability of SCMC to replace water molecules are analyzed. The results indicate that SCMC molecules regularly appear in the vicinity of 2.3 Å near the calcite surface for the different concentrations, and a strong interaction exists between them. The probability of SCMC appearing at ≈2.3 Å from the crystal surface increases with the SCMC concentration, and more SCMC molecules are adsorbed on calcite surface. Moreover, the interaction between SCMC and calcite surface increases with the increase of SCMC concentrations, and the SCMC molecules exhibit strong ability to drive water molecules on calcite surface. The binding energy between three calcite surfaces and SCMC from strong to weak follows the order: (1‐10) > (104) > (110).
