Heat Exchanger Design for the Production of TiO2 nanoparticles using precipitation method

Abstract

This study aims to design a heat exchanger to produce TiO₂ nanoparticles using precipitation method. The calculation shows that the heat exchanger specification is designed to have a tube length of 4,267 m with an inner tube diameter of 21,1836 m, a shell diameter of 254 mm, tube pitch 31,75 mm, and baffle space of 51 m. HE has a laminar flow type. Then, the results obtained through calculations using Microsoft Excel for the effectiveness of the designed heat exchanger is 77,48%. These results can be used as information in designing a suitable heat exchanger for the synthesis of TiO₂ nanoparticles.
