Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) Method with Examples

Logarithmic Mean temperature Difference is used to measure the Heat transfer rate in double pipe heat exchanger. The rate of heat transfer is got from the formula - Q = U.A.LMTD . U= Heat Transfer Co-efficient A= Heat Transfer Surface Area LMTD= Mean Temperature Difference LMTD is the logarithmic temperature difference between the hot and cold fluids passing through the each ends of heat

Biomass-Advantages and Disadvantages

Biomass - Important facts Biomass advantages and disadvantages are associated with some very important facts. Day by day the conventional energy sources like fossil fuels is reducing. Finding sources for conventional energy is a very complicated and lengthy process. But with the increasing population, the need for new energy sources is also rapidly increasing in developing countries and in

Renewable Energy Sources: The Great Green Hope for clean environment

Fossil fuel use is the prime cause of global warming and ocean acidification. Then the obvious solution to that problem is that: Either some way is found out to use fossil fuels, but not let the resulting CO2 escape to the atmosphere, in other words to sequester (catch/lock up) the CO2 , or To find other fuels which do not release CO2 (or other greenhouse gases) Renewable Energy Sources

Solar Air Heater Classification and Advantages

This post provides the description and analysis of different types of solar air heaters used in space heating and drying purposes. The Solar air heaters have the following advantages over other solar heat collectors. Solar Air Heater Advantages The need to transfer heat from working fluids to another fluid is eliminated as air is being used directly as the working substance. The system

Fixed Dome type – Janata Model Biogas Plant Construction

Biogas can be a great alternative of fossil fuels. It is already in use in many rural areas. Biogas plants use animal waste, plant waste and human waste. All this wastes have great combustible property. Biogas is an excellent renewable energy source. It is produced by the digestion of waste materials by the means of anaerobic reaction. Anaerobic means the absence of Oxygen. In most of the rural
