PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND ECONOMIC STUDY OF A SMALL HEAT CHAMBER
Abstract
This investigation is an extension of the work reported in iotechnology Laboratory Technical Report No. 14 by Jeremy Crocker and John Lyman, entitled Study of a Small Heat Chamber Capable of Rapid, Programmed Increases and Decreases in Temperature. Although this study has not reached completion, the following design configuration seems indicated: A vertical cylindrical chamber six feet high with a six foot diameter, constructed of aluminum tube sheet. This allows for a silicone-base fluid to circulate in the walls in order to attain a maximum temperature of 600 F at the rate of 100 F per minute. T HE INITIAL FLUID FLOW EQUATIONS HAD TO BE REW RKED DUE TO THE TUBE SHEET CONSTRUCTION. A preliminary equation has been derived to permit a cost minimization considering various parameters. The actual calculations will be performed on a Bendix G-15 computer. (Author
