Key Concepts
"Allow me to summarise:
Hot stuff this side, cold stuff that side. Make the cold
stuff hotter, but use inbetween stuff to not let the
cold stuff actually touch the hot stuff. Cold stuff
and hot stuff not allowed to destroy inbetween stuff
and vice versa. Some kinds of inbetween stuff
works better than others. Might need pumps or fans
to make the whole shebang work a little better,
too.

General Sizing Method
Pick an exchanger type (S&T, Plate & Frame etc.)
Choose counter or co-current flow
Choose number of tube passes (for S&T)
draw Temp diag, Calculate the LMTD and Q
Calculate the LMTD Correction Factor (F) if more
than two tube passes
Choose a U value based on tables
Calculate the Area , A = Q/ U LMTD F
Perform rigorous rating as required (not 470)

Counter to the Co-current
Use Counter Current
maximize LMTD (minimize Area, cost
etc.)
minimize utility reqts
Use Co-current
minimize outlet utility temperatures
Determining U

Determine U via fundamental equations
note that fouling factors often overshadow

Velocity Limitations
Maximum Velocity is Dictated by:
Vibration
Erosion
Hydraulic
Velocity Limitations -
Vibration
Usually a Shell Side Issue
Vibration Can Cause
Collision Damage, Baffle Damage, Fatigue
Fluidelastic whirling

Velocity Limitations -
Vibration
Analysis
determine the natural frequency of the tubes
vibration of tubes between baffles
vibration on U bends
account for damping (fluid properties, tube
stresses etc.)
determine critical flow velocity

Large Annular
Less Space = Low
Costly U Value
Cheap,
Hard to clean
Exchanger Selection
Require a U-tube or Floating head, instead
of fixed tube sheet, when thermal expansion
between shell and tubes is an issue
i.e. shell side fluid and tube side fluid

Sizing
Common to use maximum heat flux
15,000 BTU/hr sq ft
Reboilers
Heat Flux can be increased with special
systems (i.e. sintering, brazing, flame
spraying, electrolytic deposition). Sand
blasting , scoring tends not to provide
stable long term enhancement.
Tube can rupture
Tubes separate from Tube Sheet
Blocked in exchanger causes cool fluid to
experience temperatures of hot fluid
Plate & Frame
Gaskets can leak mixing hot and cold sides , or
releasing either fluid to surroundings
Heat Exchanger Safety
Implications
Fires, Explosions, Toxic Releases
Controlling Exchangers
Q = U A Tln
A is fixed
U varies slightly with velocity
Tln is the controlling variable
