All About Shell and Tube Heat exchanger

Image
  Shell and tube heat Exchanger- A mechanical Static equipment or device having two different compartments – shell compartment and tube compartment, where two different fluids/ media /substance, with different temperature, flow without mixing with each other to pass a heat from one to another by convection & conduction    Here's how it typically works: Shell Side /compartment- One fluid flows through the shell, surrounding a bundle of tubes. This fluid gains or loses heat as it passes over the outer surface of the tubes. The heat transfer happens through convection between the fluid in the shell and the outer surface of the tubes. Tube Side/compartment- The other fluid flows through the tubes. As it passes through the tubes, it gains or loses heat through convection with the inner surface of the tubes. Heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the tube walls by conduction. This setup maximizes the surface area available for heat transfer betwee...

  Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger "Determination sheet" A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE) determination sheet is a document used in the design and selection process of a shell and tube heat exchanger . This sheet typically includes various parameters and calculations necessary to determine the specifications of the heat exchanger for a particular application. These parameters may include: 1. Heat duty: The amount of heat transfer required between the fluid streams. 2. Inlet and outlet temperatures of both hot and cold fluid streams. 3. Flow rates of hot and cold fluids. 4. Physical properties of the fluids such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. 5. Design pressure and temperature requirements. 6. Material of construction for the shell, tubes, and tube sheets. 7. Tube diameter, length, and layout. 8. Number of tube passes and baffles. 9. Fouling factors. 10.Allowable pressure drop. 11.Type of tube sheet construction (floa...
