How the Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger Calculates?

Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger first picks up flow rates, and then inlet and outlet temperatures for Liquid stream. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger also picks up Steam Pressure. Based on Properties of steam at that pressure, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calculates flow rate of steam. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger also asks for permissible pressure drop on two streams. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then calculates average temperature of liquid stream. Based on the average temperature, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger asks for specific heat, viscocity and specific gravity of liquid stream.
Liquid stream is generally placed on Shell side and there are no baffles on shell side. Steam is placed on tube side, as steam is more corrosive. The number of passes on tube side is generally an even number (generally 2). You can select Square or Triangular Pitch for tubes.
Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then calculates LMTD. Since steam temperature is same throughout the tube, correction factor for LMTD is not required. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then asks for expected Higher and Lower value of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient and value of dirt factor. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then asks for OD, Pitch, Thickness and Length of tube. Based on these, calculation is done. Initially programs assumes number of tubes equal to number of passes. Based on this tube count, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger assigns shell diameter (as per number of passes)
Calculation of number of Tubes:
For Shell: Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calculates Mass Velocity for shell by dividing shell side mass flow rate by shell cross sectional area. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then calculates equivalent diameter of tube. Based on this Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calcuates Reynold's number. Based on Reynold's number, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger picks up value of jH for shell automatically. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then calculates Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient, ho for outer side of tube.
For Tubes: Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calculates Mass Velocity for tube by dividing tube side mass flow rate by cross sectional area of tube. Based on this Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calcuates Reynold's number based on inner diameter of tube. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then assigns Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient, hio for inner side of tube.
Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger then corrects the two values for viscocity of liquids at wall temperature. Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient is then calculated based on ho, hio and dirt factor. The heat transfer area required is calculated by dividing heat load by LMTD and value of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient. Dividing heat transfer area by tube's outer surface area gives the number of tubes required. If calculated tubes are more than number of tubes assumed, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger increases number of tubes assumed by one and recalculates. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger follows this procedure till number of assumed tubes are same as number of calculated tubes.
Calculation Pressure Drop:
For Tube: Based on Reynold's number calculated earlier, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger picks up value of friction factor. Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger picks up density of steam at that presure. Based on these, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calculates pressure drop.
For Shell: Based on Reynold's number calculated earlier, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger picks up value of friction factor. Based on that, Design Program for Tubular Heat Exchanger calculates pressure drop.
If the pressure drops on both sides is within limit, design is good. Otherwise new combination of OD, Pitch, Thickness and Length of tube is tried to get the result.
