Additional Curves for Calculating Countercurrent Heat Exchange I heat transfer equations were given for a sphere uniformly heated or cooled in counterflow. The infinite series involved converge rapidly, as may be seen below. The rapidity of convergence increases with an increase in the Fourier number, and with Fo ^ 0-2 the second and subsequent terms in the series are insignificant by comparison with the first term. Because of this it is possible to write equations of the type IN APPENDIX

As a result of rapid convergence when Fo > 0-20, and for m > l - 0 and ra< 1-0, the curves corresponding to numerical values of the Biot criterion may be drawn as straight lines. With Fo < 0*20 the lines become curves, all converging at the point [1 — (1 —ra)0]= 1. The plotting of these curves has involved cal culating not merely the first terms of the power series, but also the subsequent ones. For the case when m = 1-0 the basic equations are not trans posed. It was found, by calculation, that when Fo > 0-1 terms other than the first may be disregarded. 254
Calculating Countercurrent Heat Exchange In all, twenty-seven graphs were plotted, and are shown in Figs. II.1-II.9, which cover the majority of cases when the ratio of thermal capacities is 0-1, 0-4, 0-6, 0-8, 1-0, 2-0, 4-0, 6-0 and 8-0. Three graphs were plotted for each value of m: 1. for the heating or cooling of the surface of the sphere; 2. for the heating or cooling of the sphere as a whole; 3. for the heating or cooling of the centre of the sphere; and the value of the expression [1 — (1 —m)0] was determined for each m. The calculation of the bed height at which heat exchange will be accomplished with a particular degree of completeness must be carried out in the sequence given in Appendix I. The values of the expression [1 — (1 — m) 0] for varying degrees of heat exchange will be: For m < 1-0, [l-(l-i»)0'£|=l-/Wo. Form ^ 1-0, m ri n ™\/zi"i ~Pm>i-o [l-(l-m)0M] = m_(1_^>io). The sequence of calculation by these graphs is as in the following example. EXAMPLE

What, now, will be the temperature of the gases discharged from the layer at these heights, if the heat losses are the same in both cases ? The value [1 — (1 — m) 0'^] corresponds to a degree of complete ness of heat exchange P'm<1.0 = 0-80. This enables us to find the temperature ratio for the lump as a whole on discharge from the top heat transfer stage: _ 1-0-2 Further, by using eqn. (1.17) we can find Q'g and hence the gas discharge temperature t'g', as the initial gas temperature is known (t'g = 160 °C). ®o = 5 r ' j f

Hence, for

we find that
