How to determine whether the heat exchanger simulated by HTRI is appropriate?
Thread Content
Dear experts, for heat exchangers calculated using HTRI, how can we determine whether they are suitable heat exchangers? What parameters are mainly used for this purpose? Is some empirical data required?
It can be determined through data such as flow rate and heat transfer coefficients to see whether the software is merely a tool or if judgment based on experience is also necessary. This post was last edited by jianren222 on 2009-3-27 at 14:34.]
There are many methods; I’ve been using this software account for many years
Flow rate, heat transfer coefficient and margin, pressure drop
Thank you so much to everyone who replied above! But there is still a question: what is the flow rate? What is the geometry of the heat transfer coefficient? What are the normal ranges for richness and pressure drop?
For information on flow rates, you can refer to relevant literature, such as Liu Wei and Deng Fangyi’s \"Manual for Process Calculations of Heat Exchangers\"
Your question is too general. Because this is related to the medium, heat exchanger type, and so on. It is recommended that you read the manual first
Can it be judged from that? Also, how is pressure balance determined in the reboiler calculation results as required by Mazu?
