Abstract
Various types of industrial direct-contact heat transfer equipment were described. Process engineers hesitate to use direct contact heat transfer in process design because they have little knowledge of it. Emphasis was on gas-liquid contactors; design equations with and without heat transfer were presented. Major problems associated with using direct-contact heat transfer in the process industries are
-
No reliable design methods
-
Need to account for mass transfer
-
Fogging and entrainment
-
Determination of correct temperature driving force
