Determination of the heat transfer coefficient in the shell side of the condenser
Thread Content
Steam flows in the shell side, where it condenses entirely into water. How can the heat transfer coefficient be determined? I’m sorry, but I really can’t find any information on this.
The heat transfer coefficient is related to the material, right? Let’s check if the heat exchanger selection manual has any information on this
Thank you; I found it in the heat exchanger design manual edited by Qian Songwen, which was mentioned in the resource post. Thank you!
This heat transfer coefficient should be calculated specifically rather than being taken from empirical values; you can try using htri to obtain the coefficients for both the tube side and the shell side
