HEAT EXCHANGERS
Shell-and-tube exchanger
most common in process industries
larger and continous flow
tubes arranged in bundle
one single shell

(a) 1 shell pass & 1 tube pass (1-1 exhanger)

simplest = 1 shell pass & 1 tube pass

= 1-1 counterflow exhanger

cross-baffles force fluid to flow

perpendicularly across tube bank

(b) 1 shell pass & 2 tube passes (1-2 exhanger

HEAT EXCHANGERS
Cross-flow exhanger

(a) One fluid mixed (gas) & one fluid unmixed

(b) both fluids unmixed

gas such as air being heated or cooled

LOG MEAN TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE CORRECTION


FACTOR
q = UiAiTm = UoAoT m
where Tm = mean temperature = FTTlm

(a) 1-2 exchanger (any multiple of 2 tube passes)

Not recommended to use FT < 0.75

(b) 2-4 exchanger (any multiple of 4 tube passes)
