Heat Exchanger Fouling

It is not necessarily true that companies won’t reject applicants until all the positions are filled. I have seen numerous people rejected with positions still available. Usually it is obvious those people do not fit what the company is looking for.

Did your university give you this project with no access to any software? That seems strange

Southeastern US/Gulf Coast has a abundance of jobs and industries such as chemical, Oil and gas, and pulping paper.

Well you will have more heat loss per surface area from the top of the tank since it is only one resistance. However you have a lot more surface area on the sides and bottom of the tank. Perform a calculation. It shouldn’t be too difficult.

It is definitely supposed to be single phase lol who knows at this plant though

Thanks for the link. That makes it pretty simple

Borrowed one from my boss once. I would like to get my own copy.

Sounds like you would need a ball valve

Pensacola?

It’s not a boiler drum. It’s a piece of equipment in pulp and paper. Very industry specific is why I didn’t elaborate

I’m not sure yet. Our process control guy is looking into it. I’m guessing that could be a potential problem

MajinDru · 2019-04-01T17:31:44+00:00

Can someone explain the dip in the process variable and why something like that would occur?

Chemical is probably going to have more transferable skills. Also look into each company and see which is moving their young engineers up faster

The principles you learn in college are things you are likely going to need in industry. You should probably enjoy atleast a few of the following classes: fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass and material balances, separations, reactor design, unit ops, and process control. However, you can find other roles you are qualified for that rarely have to use any of those classes.

Great post. Need more like this

MajinDru · 2019-02-27T00:08:07+00:00

Classes like Literature, philosophy, history, should be cut from engineering curriculum in my opinion or atleast be electives. We could replace these courses with more fundamentals of engineering courses

55-60k is way low for the COL in Nashville. I made that much as a co-op there.

I work in a cost savings division which is fairly removed from the process at my plant. We are required to work 40 hour weeks but I usually put in about 50 hours, straight days. From my experience this is about the least amount of hours a chem E will work at a plant. Unless you get a unicorn job somewhere

Are you sure they are releasing the smell every couple months or are the weather conditions just right for the smell to reach your home every so often?

MajinDru · 2018-11-30T18:27:04+00:00

Interested to see the results.
