Heat Transfer Characteristics of Calcined Petroleum Coke in Waste Heat Recovery Process

Abstract EN

This paper reports the results of heat transfer characteristics of calcined petroleum coke in waste heat recovery process.

The model of heat exchanger was set up.

The model has been used to investigate the effects of porosity (0.58 to 0.79), equivalent heat conductivity coefficient (0.9 to 1.1), and equivalent specific heat (0.9 to 1.1).

The calculated values of calcined petroleum coke temperature showed good agreement with the corresponding available experimental data.

The temperature distribution of calcined petroleum coke, the calcined petroleum coke temperature at heat exchanger outlet, the average heat transfer coefficient, and the heat recovery efficiency were studied.

It can also be used in deriving much needed data for heat exchanger designs when employed in industry.
