Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers is the Most commonly used heat exchangers. Advantages • Large surface area in a small volume. • Good mechanical layout. • Uses well established fabrication methods. • Can be constructed from a wide variety of materials. • Easily cleaned and maintained. • Well established design procedures

Heat Exchangers – Typical Old Fashion design 1) Define duty: heat transfer rate, flows, temperatures. 2) Collect required physical properties (ρ, μ, k). 3) Decide on the type of exchanger. 4) Select a trial value for U. 5) Calculate the mean temperature difference, ΔTm 6) Calculate area required. 7) Decide on the exchanger layout. 8)...
