DESCRIPTION

The heat exchanger will be used to pre-heat the rice bran oil from room temperature (30 C) to 90 C, for the
purpose of decreasing the viscosity of the rice bran oil from. Pre-heating the rice bran oil will aid in the transport of
rice bran oil from its storage to the fluidized bed reactors with less amount of pumping requirements.

ASSUMPTION(S)/BASIS
1. Steady state.
2. The reference temperature used to calculate for the enthalpy of a specific stream is 0 C.
3. No reaction along the pipes reaction only occur at the reactors.

Overall balance around the heat exchanger (H-01) (Equation 1):

= 1 1 + Equation 1


at steady state,
=0

0 = 1 1 +

The heat required to raise the temperature of the entering stream is calculated using Equation 2.
