Example 15.

Calculation of a Kettle Reboiler. 45.500 lb/hr of bottoms of 65OAPI gravity and

small boiling range at 400OF enter a kettle reboiler from which 28.100 lb/hr of vapor
is formed at an operating pressure of 200 psig. Heat is supplied by 28 OAPI gas oil
in the range from 575 to 475OF and 120 psig operating pressure. A pressure drop of
10 psi is permissible.

Available for the service is a 25 in. ID kettle reboiler containing a six-pass 15 in.
