EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS AND EFFECTIVE LENGTH OF TANK HEATING COILS IN VESSELS

Tests were carried out to determine heat-transfer coefficients and effective length of tank heating coils. Heat-transfer-coefficients calculated on the basis of natural convection fail to recognize the nucleate boiling of the low boiling point components in crude oil. Experiments clarified these boiling effects which are presented in an empirical equation. Some experimental data was gathered on the effective length of tank heating coils, such as a frictional loss coefficient of condensing steam flow. Agreement was reached between an approximation formula and the experimental values.
