A Petrochemical Industry Perspective on Professor Webb's Contribution to Heat Transfer Enhancement
Краткое описание
This paper discusses Professor Ralph L. Webb's pioneering contributions to enhanced boiling and condensation, development of plate-fin surfaces and performance evaluation criteria (PEC) for enhanced surfaces. In particular, the status of these technologies when Professor Webb began his work, his contributions to these areas, and what else remains to be accomplished before these technologies can be used to their full potential in the petrochemical industry are addressed. The authors have been witnessing and contributing to the growth in these technologies in the petrochemical industry. However, primarily owing to the lack of operating data, and to the complications of fouling, corrosion and erosion phenomena often prevalent in these industries, there exists a reluctance in accepting these technologies.
