U-tube heat exchanger case study
Thread Content
1. Could those who have worked with U-tube heat exchangers provide an actual example (without phase change): the name of the fluid, its mass flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures as well as its density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat at those temperatures; inlet and outlet pressures, the allowable pressure drop for the fluid flow, the thermal resistances of the tube side and the shell side, and the design temperature and pressure. The more detailed these parameters are, the better. Thank you everyone! 2 One condition for choosing a U-tube is a \"large temperature difference\"; so what exactly constitutes a large temperature difference?
*Art parameters, right? I worked on an overlapping U-tube heat exchanger a couple of days ago, but the stress analysis results were rather uncertain
