How to calculate the heat transfer load of heat transfer oil in a jacketed reactor
Thread Content
As the title indicates, it is a jacketed reactor made of unsaturated resin, with heat exchange taking place in the jacket using heat transfer oil. The temperature of the heat transfer oil is 250–260 degrees before heat exchange, and 230–240 degrees after heat exchange. With a flow rate of 1.5 m/s and a pipe diameter of 65 mm, the volumetric flow rate of the heat transfer oil is 17 m3/h. The temperature rise rate inside the reactor is 8-10 degrees per hour, with the temperature rising from 30 degrees to 240 degrees. I would like to ask how to calculate the heat load of the heat transfer oil in a jacketed reactor. It seems to involve unsteady-state heat transfer; how should this be calculated? Is there anyone who can do the calculation? Thank you
With a temperature difference and flow rate, the power can be estimated to be around 210 KW; you can also compare this by using the density and specific heat of the substances inside the reactor.
Thank you for the reply. How was it estimated? Is it based on experience or? What does it mean to compare the specific heat of substances in a reaction vessel? I really don’t understand; please give me some guidance. Thank you!
