Abstract:

In this project a study is conducted by using an evaporative cooler and a tube in tube heat exchanger for intercooling. In an evaporative cooler the water absorbs heat from the stream of the flowing air in order to change its phase and then evaporate, thus providing a net cooling effect to the incoming stream of compressed air. A typical tube in tube heat exchanger may be used to reduce the temperature of the flowing stream of gases. In our study we calculated the reduction in work done by the compressor for a particular flow rate of air through the system for both evaporative cooler and tube in tube heat exchanger. Calculations were made for different flow rates of cooling water and corresponding graphs were plotted.
