A. About HTRI
www.htri.net :
Heat Transfer Research, Inc. (HTRI) is the
global leader in process heat transfer and heat
exchanger technology. Founded in 1962.
Another Software Heat Exchanger Design
Codeware
Shell and Tube Exchanger Design
Etc.
B. Xist
HTRI Xchanger Suite®
is an integrated graphical user environment for the design
and rating of heat exchangers. All components of the
suite—Xace®, Xfh®, Xhpe®, Xist®,Xjpe®, Xphe®, Xspe®, Xtlo®,
and Xvib®—work together.
Xist:
Design, rating, and simulation of single- and two-phase
shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including kettle and
thermosiphon reboilers, falling film evaporators, and
reflux condensers

Validity Input
Geometry
B should least 60% C & F not exceed
in turbulent, 40% in 10%, E (ineffective)
laminar flow not exceed 15%
Check Distribution
of Pressure Drop
PD should be
< 25%
Check Dominant Value, If
fouling resistance very
large please verify source
Check Value
R-V-SQ; for liquid
<3000 kg/ms2, for gas
<20% of accoustic
value
Check Value
Pressure Drop Distribution
a. If Maximum allowable pressure drop entered
- Vapor and two-phase nozzles size to use 12.5%
allowable pressure drop/nozzle
- Liquid nozzles sized to use 5% allowable pressure
drop/nozzle
b. If Maximum allowable pressure drop not entered
- Vapor and two-phase nozzles sized to 25% allowable
maximum velocity (20% accoustic velocity)
- Liquid nozzles sized to have 0.5 psi (3.447 kPa)
pressure drop per nozzle.
Flow Velocity
Velocities should be
- High enough to suppress fouling
- Low enough to prevent erosion
Refer TEMA Standards
Check Nozzle Velocities
Localized high velocities can cause
- Vibration Problem
- Maldistribution
- Inaccurate Pressure drop prediction
Segmental baffles: nominal crossflow and window
velocity should be similar
NTIW: window velocity should be two to three times the
crossflow velocity.
