Seeking guidance on the manual, detailed calculation process for air-cooled heat exchangers (without using computer software)
Thread Content
Most of the calculations for air coolers are done using software; I would like to learn the specific principles behind them. Please advise me, experts. First, list the steps and issues as I understand them: I. Given conditions: 1. Medium; 2. Operating pressure of the medium (absolute pressure); 3. Flow rate of the medium; 4. Operating temperature of the medium (at the inlet and outlet). II. Is there a detailed formula and explanation for calculating the heat load? III. Calculation of the heat exchange tube diameter IV. Calculation of the heat exchange tube wall thickness V. Calculation of the theoretical heat exchange area A heat transfer coefficient is used in this process; where does it come from? Check the table? VI. Theoretical air volume
Same request! Just starting out in this field; I hope a mentor can guide me
