Fouling—the unwanted deposition of materials on heat transfer surfaces—remains one of the most pervasive challenges in thermal engineering. It leads to reduced heat transfer efficiency, increased ...

Fouling in heat exchanger networks (HENs) arises from the deposition of particulates, scales and organic films on heat transfer surfaces, leading to increased thermal resistance, pressure drop and ...

There is no doubt that the energy industry is moving toward decarbonization and renewable sources. But, despite the $2.7 trillion spent on renewables over the past decade, that future is still a long ...

Heat exchangers are important in all thermal power plants and in many other applications. If not properly operated and maintained, a variety of failures can occur, resulting in downtime, reduced ...
