Contributor Oluijic, Z. (mentor) Tromp, S. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department Process and Energy Programme IRS Date 2010-12-15 Abstract The main goal of this report is to determine the HETP of the setup. The second goal is to determine and calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the PFHE separation section of the setup. This will be done by hand and by using a predictive mathematical model. By also doing the calculations by hand one can correlate the model to see if the model is working properly. The heat transfer coefficient was expected to be 200 W/m2K. But through calculations this value was not arrived at. The values calculated were mostly higher. But due to an unexpected limitation in the mathematical model the values calculated this way are not very trustworthy. Although the proof of principle has been confirmed from this data it cannot be concluded that the PFHE HIDiC concept is viable.
