Crude oil inlet temperature
= 100~
Crude oil outlet temperature
- 170~
Solution
The computer program PROG81 calculates the required number of
shell passes, the F-factor, the Log Mean Temperature Difference
(LMTD), and the Corrected Mean Temperature Difference (CMTD).
Table 8-21 shows the input data and computer output of the problem.
The number of shells required is 1, the F-factor is 0.8917, the LMTD is
152.2~ and the corrected LMTD is 135.7~
Problem 8-2
Acetone (s = 0.79) at 250~ is to be sent to storage at 100~ and at a
rate of 60,000 lb/hr. The heat will be received by 185,000 lb/hr of 100
percent acetic acid (s = 1.07) coming from storage at 90~ and heated to
150~ Pressure drops of 10.0 psi are available for both fluids. Assum-
ing that the fouling factor on the tube side is 0.001 and that on the shell
side is 0.003, calculate the heat transfer coefficients for the tube and
shell sides, the overall heat transfer coefficient for the exchanger, out-
side area of unit, and the heat transferred.
Available for the service are a large number of 1-2 exchangers hav-
ing 21 1/4 in. ID shells with 270 tubes 3/4 in. OD, 14 BWG, 16 ft long
