Design of shell and tube Heat Exchanger
A 1-2 shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to cool condensed steam at a rate of 105 kg/h
from X ◦C to Y ◦C using cooling water available at Z ◦C. The operating conditions do not
permit exit temperatures of cooling water exceeding 40°C. Select a counter flow heat
exchanger with ¾ inch OD tube, 16 BWG, triangular pitch and 8 feet long tube arrangement
with a tube thickness of 0.083 inch. By referring to the data sheet and with suitable
assumptions, Evaluate the following:
(i) Mass flow rate of water; 1 mark
(ii) Corrected LMTD 1 mark
(iii)Total number of tubes; 1 mark
(iv)Tube side Reynolds number; 1 mark
(v) Inside heat transfer coefficient; 2 marks
(vi) Shell side Reynolds number 1 mark
(vii)Shell side heat transfer coefficient; 2 marks
(viii)Overall heat transfer coefficient; 2 marks
(ix)Inside heat transfer area 1 mark
(x)Actual heat transfer area 1 mark
(xi)Actual design overall heat transfer
coefficient
2 marks
Total Marks 15 Marks
