Sub-problem 7.2: Which hw correlation is statistically more appropriate for cases involving gasoil flow through a bed of glass beads ?

1) After completing Sub-problem 7.1, return to the Query index in the Fluids tab.

2) Press the Add button in the Liquid phase panel, and highlight Gasoil. Press OK.

3) Select the (unspecified) option in the Composition field. It shows that only one gas/liquid composition involving gasoil in the liquid phase is repertoriated in the restricted database containing 40 data sets. Press OK, then Execute. Eight (8) data sets from Purwasasmita satisfies these conditions.
 

4) Select the Plot button  to open the plot creator.

5) From the Choose a plot combo box, select the same diagram created in the previous sub-problem (Wall heat transfer coefficient (MR_ANN12) et al. [5 models] vs Wall heat transfer coefficient). In the Y-axis, the MR_ANN12 was the first selected model amongst 5 models while the Wall heat transfer coefficient experimental value was selected for the X-axis.
 

 

 

CONCLUSION: With the exception of the Specchia and Baldi (1979) correlation, the parity plot and CDF diagram do not exhibit much distinction between the correlations. Based on the statistics, thePurwasasmita (1984) and MR_ANN12 correlations can be considered the best correlations for predicting heat transfer coefficient at the reactor's wall between 100 and 500 BTU/hr/ft2/R for air/gasoil downflow through a bed of glass beads.
