Computer-Aided Thermohydraulic Design of TEMA Type E Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers for Use in Low Pressure, Liquid-to-Liquid, Single Phase Applications.

Abstract

Classification, nomenclature, utilization and cost estimating of shell and tube heat exchangers are presented along with an historical overview of various methods currently employed in their design. A procedure for providing preliminary estimates of shell and tube heat exchanger design is developed in detail. The author formulates a computer program which employs this sizing algorithm for low pressure liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger applications. Additionally, problems encountered in the design and manufacture of shell and tube heat exchangers are described along with present methods of solution for each. Keywords include: Computer-aided design.
