This event was organised to review the exciting work on Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers that has been carried out during a two-year project sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Chemtech International and Tetra Pak, under the auspices of the Faraday Partnership for Industrial Mathematics, managed by the Smith Institute.
Background and FormatThe formation of the current multidisciplinary team began in December 2000, with Professor Pyle and Dr Sun, both then based at the University of Reading and Dr Nick Hall-Taylor, CEO of Chemtech International. Mathematicians from the Universities of Reading, Southampton and Strathclyde, and industrial collaborator Tetrapak joined the group in September 2002 to work on practical mathematical models of scraped surface heat exchangers. The purpose of the meeting was to summarise the results of the group, and to outline challenges and potential project areas for future work and collaborations. The key themes were fluid flow, thermodynamics, blade wear and numerical simulations. |
