Shell Side Heat Transfer Coefficient. Heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the tube walls either from tube side to shell side or vice versa. Tube side heat transfer coefficient wm 2 k η.
Then we have 1hi 1ho and thus ui u0 u hi. Surface area of the tubes which is the heat transfer surface. In order to transfer heat efficiently a large heat transfer area should be used leading to the.
This paper presents the results of experimental studies to obtain pressure drop relations in designing shell and tube heat exchanger.
Calculate shell side heat transfer coefficient posted in process heat transfer. Then we have 1hi 1ho and thus ui u0 u hi. The average nusselt number and the pressure drop across the exchanger each increased at about the. This is a practical range and covers almost all exchangers manufactured in the industry.
