What is the method for calculating the pressure drop in shell-and-tube heat exchangers? Formulas and relevant materials would be helpful.
There are many formulas; the user can choose according to their needs. They can be found in heat exchanger design manuals, process calculation manuals for cooling equipment, as well as in textbooks on chemical engineering principles. Some software provides even better solutions, such as HIRT and Heat Exchanger Design Master.
I’m learning it now; I’ll go take a look right away, thanks :)
