Embedded thermocouple wall temperature measurement technique for scraped surface heat exchangers

Heating and cooling processes involving viscous fluids, crystallization processes or with fouling tendency require often the employment of scraped surface heat exchangers to enhance the heat transfer. In these cases, obtaining the heat transfer coefficient is complex due to the difficulty of measuri...
