On the heat transfer area of shell-and-tube heat exchangers
Thread Content
This unit is equipped with a heat exchanger built into one of the pump units; circulating water flows through the tube side, with an inlet pressure of 0.32 MPA and a temperature of 28 degrees. Return water pressure: 0.25 MPA. The pressure of the chlorosilane in the shell side is 2.6 MP; the exit temperature is around 50 degrees, while the inlet temperature is around 80 degrees. Could someone also help calculate the heat exchange area? It is best to list the calculation formulas and steps. Thank you so much! ! !
I recommend the book \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\"; it’s worth giving a read to.
Such an estimate cannot be handled by a non-professional design institute
If there’s no flow rate, what’s the point of talking about heat exchange area?
Without flow rate, there is no heat transfer; without heat transfer, it is impossible to estimate the area
The heat exchange area, the inlet and outlet temperatures on the shell side, the material and wall thickness of the heat exchange tubes, as well as the flow velocity of the fluid inside the tubes are all relevant factors; therefore, your parameters are incomplete.
The question raised is problematic – there’s no traffic (volume of processing), and the attitude is wrong.
Incomplete parameters! If the specific heat of the medium, flow rate, and type of heat exchanger are provided, it can be calculated.
