For a 50L reactor with 40kg of material, of which isopropyl alcohol accounts for 1/3, and a reaction reflux temperature of 84 degrees Celsius, what size of heat exchange area is required for the condenser?
How is it calculated? The conditions provided by the poster: heat transfer rate, inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling medium, etc.!
Where does this 1.5 square come from? First, you need to decide on the material for the heat exchanger; different materials have varying thermal conductivity rates, which determines the appropriate choice of heat exchanger.
The difference between fast and slow in multiple lines: lol:lol
1.5 is definitely wrong; there aren’t any material attributes at all.:
