Heat exchanger simulation calculation
Thread Content
Heat exchanger simulation calculations – what are design-type calculations? Is it by using the known data on hot and cold streams to select and calculate the heat exchanger? For this type of calculation, what parameters need to be entered? Is it the heat exchange area, or the number of heat exchange tubes? What about the baffle spacing? What about the height of the baffle notch?
Design-based calculation is the selection of heat exchangers. You can refer to the textbook on principles of chemical engineering
For the calculation, it is only necessary to enter five out of six parameters: the inlet and outlet temperatures and flow rates of the cooling medium, as well as the inlet and outlet temperatures and flow rates of the heat flow. Parameters such as the heat exchange area, the number of heat exchange tubes, and the spacing between baffle plates are part of the heat exchanger design, not of the calculation process
