Calculation of the external coil around the storage tank
Thread Content
Now I need to calculate the heat exchange area of the external coil around the storage tank. Do any experts have any recommended books or calculation formulas? Explanation: The storage tank has a fixed roof, and the medium contained is sulfuric acid. An external coil is used to maintain the temperature of the tank at 40°C in winter, with steam serving as the heating medium. How can the heat transfer coefficient of the external coil be determined, and how can the heat exchange area be calculated?
Whether it is an internal coil or an external coil, the heat required to maintain the temperature of the storage tank is the same. For calculations, reference can be made to page 378 of the first volume of the \"Design Manual for Oil Storage and Transportation\"; as for the calculation of external coils, I believe the method used for calculating steam tracing pipes in pipelines can be applied, with the heat transfer coefficient taken from SH/T 3040, which provides detailed calculation formulas. If it’s incorrect, please ask other experts to correct it
