2-4 Shell and tube heat exchanger Why we use it ? Problem 8.1
engineering-resource.com
Problem Statement
33,114 lb/hr of n-butyl alcohol at 210 0F is to be cooled to 105 0F using water from 95 to 115 0F. Available for the purpose is a 19 in. ID, twopass shell exchanger with 204 tubes . OD , 16 BWG, 160 long on 1-in .square pitch arranged for four passes. Vertically cut baffles are spaced 7 in. apart. Pressure drops of 10psi are allowable. What is the Dirt factor ?
