Tube heat exchanger
Thread Content
I want to ask a stupid question: what are the differences in the calculations for horizontal shell-and-tube heat exchangers and vertical shell-and-tube heat exchangers? I personally think it should be the same; is it just the flow rate for the vertical type that needs to change? According to the principles of fluid transport, huh, the pressure drop shouldn’t change, right? The potential energy is changing
Just because you think there’s no difference doesn’t mean there really is none; these two are completely different. Take a look at the calculation process and analyze it carefully. This issue won’t pose any problems when discussed on chemical engineering forums
Reply to 2# Diyu: Yeah, okay. Thank you!
Not necessarily; some have different structures. Some are of a half-sided design, with the gas exiting from the other side in order to prevent gas from entering
