CALCULATIONS
h' = h + (2 x Cps)
H' = H + (2 x Cps)
H0 = H + (2 x t2)
h0 = h + (2 x t1)
a= H'/h' -------Rectangular Vessel Parameter (short to long)
h'/H' --------long to short
V= (TP-DH) /TP----Tube Sheet Ligament Efficiency
V' = (TP-DP) / TP---Plug Sheet Ligament Efficiency
t1' = (t1-Cps)----Thickness of short side plates (corroded)
t2' = (t2-Cps)----Thickness of long side plates (corroded)
t5' = (t5-Cps)----Thickness of end plate
c1 = (t1-Cps)/2 = t1'/2
c2= (t2-Cps)/2 = t2'/2
l 1= (t1-Cps)3/12 = (t1')3/12
l 2= (t2-Cps)3/12 = (t2')3/12
K= (l2/l1) x a-----Vessel Parameter
Cc = SQRT (2 x π 2 x E2 / Sy)
Ixx = ((h0) x (H0)3/12)-(h' x H'3/12)
A= (h0) x (H0)-(h' x H')
R1 = Sqrt (Ixx/A) ----least radius of gyration
F'e = 12 x π2 x E2/(23 x (2Lv/R1)2)
Sa = P e x h0 x H0 / (2 x (t1 x H0 + t2 x h0))
Fa1 = ([1-2Lv/R1)2/(2Cc)2]Sy)/[5/3+3(2Lv/R1)/8Cc-(2Lv/R1)3/8Cc3]
