The purpose of this research is to put together a combined heat and
power (CHP) system for the College of Engineering at the University
of Louisiana at Lafayette by integrating the solar turbine unit with the
Thermax absorption chiller. To achieve this, a heat exchanger is designed
using a theoretical methodology called the Bell-Delaware method. This
method helped obtain the basic dimensions of the heat exchanger. A
general design procedure is developed and some of the design deci-
sions are discussed. Future scope of the work includes constructing the
heat exchanger designed in this work and the practical integration of
the equipment, to finally setting up a CHP system that would meet the
chilling needs of the university.
