Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design
The various designs of heat exchangers are well illustrated in stan-
dard texts and in the literature [3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Recently, Pooley
et al.
[ 10] developed algorithms for both shell and tube exchangers and com-
pact exchangers. Their algorithms rely on the allowable pressure drops
of both of the streams being contacted.
The rating of an exchanger involves using the equations to calculate
the suitability of an existing exchanger for given process conditions.
The following steps are used for rating a shell and tube exchanger where
there is no phase of change. The process conditions required are
