Heat Exchanger Design Calculation

The document provides design calculations for a shell and tube heat exchanger. It includes inlet and outlet temperatures, pressures, flow rates, and physical properties for both the shell and tube sides. Calculations are shown for the heat duty, log mean temperature difference, number of tubes, tube layout, heat transfer coefficients, and pressure drops on both sides. The heat exchanger will use carbon steel for the shell and tubes, have one shell pass and two tube passes, and is designed to transfer about 140,000 BTU/hr with allowable pressure drops of 5 psi or less on both sides.
