Heat Exchanger Design Guide: A Practical Guide for Planning, Selecting and Designing of Shell and Tube Exchangers takes users on a step-by-step guide to the design of heat exchangers in daily practice, showing how to determine the effective driving temperature difference for heat transfer.

Users will learn how to calculate heat transfer coefficients for convective heat transfer, condensing, and evaporating using simple equations. Dew and bubble points and lines are covered, with all calculations supported with examples.

This practical guide is designed to help engineers solve typical problems they might encounter in their day-to-day work, and will also serve as a useful reference for students learning about the field. The book is extensively illustrated with figures in support of the text and includes calculation examples to ensure users are fully equipped to select, design, and operate heat exchangers.

• Covers design method and practical correlations needed to design practical heat exchangers for process application
• Includes geometrical calculations for the tube and shell side, also covering boiling and condensation heat transfer
• Explores heat transfer coefficients and temperature differences
• Designed to help engineers solve typical problems they might encounter in their day-to-day work, but also ideal as a useful reference for students learning about the field

Heat Exchanger Design

Abstract

How does one proceed if a new heat exchanger for a specific heat load is to be designed? Which calculations are required? A schema for the design of a heat exchanger for a given problem definition is introduced and explained with an example. After some explanations to the different tube patterns and the different baffles, the problems of bypass and leakage streams and the accommodation of different expansions at the tube and shell side are treated. Finally, a schema is given for the selection of the appropriate TEMA type for the given problem definition.
