Chemical Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Liquid Film Heat Transfer Model

This Chemical Engineering final year project investigates comparing film-thickness assumptions in a fictional falling-film process, connecting a defined process-engineering question to a reproducible balance, model or approved laboratory comparison.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic makes comparing film-thickness assumptions in a fictional falling-film process a specific process-engineering problem rather than an open-ended plant description. Evaluating film thickness, heat-transfer estimate and regime sensitivity provides a clear route from assumptions and measurements to plots, calculations and a critical interpretation of the result.

How do the selected process assumptions or operating conditions affect film thickness, heat-transfer estimate and regime sensitivity when comparing film-thickness assumptions in a fictional falling-film process?

Choose a permitted dataset, fictional process case or approved teaching experiment and agree the operating range for comparing film-thickness assumptions in a fictional falling-film process with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the process boundaries, material data and assumptions required for comparing film-thickness assumptions in a fictional falling-film process.
  2. 02Use documented laminar-film equations, vary flow and thermal properties and assess where the assumed regime ceases to apply.
  3. 03Compare film thickness, heat-transfer estimate and regime sensitivity and explain uncertainty, validity limits and practical constraints.

A suggested research approach

Use documented laminar-film equations, vary flow and thermal properties and assess where the assumed regime ceases to apply. Confirm data provenance and obtain approval for any materials and laboratory procedure. Check units and mass or energy consistency, retain failed or inconsistent observations, and compare film thickness, heat-transfer estimate and regime sensitivity against a documented reference before interpreting the process implications.

What you will need

  • Published film correlations
  • Fictional operating data
  • Numerical calculation tools

Keep your project scope clear

The study does not establish actual wetting, fouling or safe evaporator operation.
