Thread Content

The last edit to this post was made by Zaihui Kangqiao on 2015-9-22 at 10:47. The Chemical Engineering Theory section is now launching a \"One Question per Day\" activity aimed at helping everyone reinforce their basic knowledge in chemical engineering. Subsequent series will include those on \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\", \"Mass Transfer and Separation\", \"Thermodynamics in Chemical Engineering\", and \"Chemical Process Engineering\". We hope for your active support! Answers to the questions in the \"One Question per Day\" activity can be viewed directly, and the thread will be closed after 1 day ! You get 2 wealth points for participating, and an additional 3 wealth points for correct answers~~~ Short answer question: What are heaters and coolants? Can you give an example? Heating agent: A heat carrier that supplies heat to heat a material is called a heating agent. Example: steam. Coolant: A heat carrier that removes heat to cool a material is called a coolant. Example water.

The fluid involved in heat transfer is called a heat carrier, and it is the heating element (heat transfer oil, steam, molten salt) that performs the heating function. It is the coolant (ice brine, ethylene glycol solution, nitrogen) that serves to cool and condense

Short answer: What are heaters and coolants? Can you give an example? Before answering, I feel that everything the question is trying to convey is open to debate. Firstly, cold and heat are relative concepts; if solids and particles are not taken into account and only the most common case of fluid heat exchange is considered, terms such as \"heating agent\" and \"cooling agent\" are also appropriate, though terms like heat source or cold source are even more precise. Therefore, any medium with a higher temperature on one side can serve as a heating source (with the exception of heat pump systems and absorption refrigeration), while a medium with a lower temperature on the other side can function as a cooling source. For example, taking the circulating water commonly used in factories as an instance, circulating water is generally used as a coolant in things such as tower top condensers; yet the same circulating water is employed in some special processes to heat low-temperature fluids.
