Trommelen & Beek SSHE Formulation:
• Rotational Reynolds: Rer = ρ · (N/60) · Di² / μ
• Scraped Nusselt: Nu = 0.16 · Rer0.50 · Pr0.33 · Nb0.33
• Scraped Film Coeff: hp = Nu · k / Di [W/(m²·K)]
• Total Heat Duty: Q̇ = ṁ · cp · ΔT + ṁ · Δhlatent [kW].

📘 Calculation Methodology & SSHE Standards

Continuous Boundary Layer Renewal

Spring-loaded or centrifugal scraper blades continuously scrape the heat exchange cylinder wall, preventing fouling and burning of sticky, heat-sensitive or crystallizing food and chemical products.

Trommelen & Beek Heat Transfer Model

Evaluates the unsteady heat conduction into the liquid film between successive blade passes, scaling with $\sqrt{N \cdot N_b}$.

Key Engineering Assumptions

  • Uniform jacket temperature (evaporating refrigerant or condensing steam).
  • Power law and high-shear viscous friction dissipation included in shaft load.
  • Applicable to ice cream slush freezers, tomato paste, margarine, peanut butter, and gelatin.
