How does ASPEN calculate the heat transfer area?
Thread Content
I’m not sure about the design of heat exchangers. If the medium is water, with a feed flow rate of 60 m3/h and a temperature of 10°C, and the outlet temperature needs to be 20°C, using saturated steam at 0.4 MPA for heating, what should be the heat exchange area? How to operate it using ASPEN? Could any of the guys give me some advice?
For a simple calculation, use the heat exchanger module and specify the heat transfer coefficient
This calculation can be done very easily using Aspen
In Plus, select the HEATX model; for accurate calculations, use EDR in Aspen instead
