AI Thread Summary
Designing a shell and tube heat exchanger for a 100kW rice husk gasifier requires cooling syngas from 300°C to 60°C, utilizing syngas on the tube side and cooling water on the shell side. The discussion revolves around determining the number of heat exchangers needed, with questions about whether one, two, or three units would suffice. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences and methodologies for setting the temperature range for each exchanger. The design must consider efficiency and thermal performance to achieve the desired cooling. Effective design will ensure optimal heat transfer and system reliability.

TL;DR Summary
shell and tube heat exchanger for gasifier cooling system
I need some help with designing a shell and tube heat exchanger for a 100kW rice husk gasifier. The goal is to cool the syngas from 300°C to 60°C, with the syngas on the tube side and cooling water on the shell side. How many shell and tube heat exchangers would be required for this task? Would one be enough, or would I need two or three? Additionally, how should I set the temperature range for each exchanger?

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
