Seeking help with Aspen heat exchanger calculations
Thread Content
Dear experts, the available fluids are water at 0.4 MPa and 100 degrees Celsius, and water at 0.4 MPa and 30 degrees Celsius; the flow rate for each is 20 m3/h. Heat exchange is desired, with no specific requirements regarding the outcome of this exchange. What will be the final results? How should the outlet parameters of the heat exchanger be set, or what measures can be taken to obtain reasonable parameters after heat exchange? I would be very grateful for your help! ! !
The temperature difference between the two streams of material should be the same; it’s sufficient to set one value, by specifying the temperature of one of them
For hot and cold logistics, it is sufficient to set the outlet status for one of them.
Thank you all, I’ll give it another try!
The question is not clear enough. Even if co-current and counter-current flow are not clearly specified, the calculation results can vary significantly. Think of the question first before asking it.
