Workshop
A heat exchanger is a vessel that transfers heat energy from one process
stream to another. Until now, we have not considered the physical
parameters of the heat exchangers we have modeled. In this module we
will be entering this additional information regarding our shell and tube
heat exchanger and allowing HYSYS to determine whether or not it will
suit our needs.
Learning Objectives
In this workshop you will learn how to:
Use the Heat Exchanger Dynamic Rating Method in HYSYS forheat exchanger design.
Determine if an existing heat exchanger will meet the processspecifications.
Prerequisites
Before beginning this workshop you need to have completed theprevious modules.We ignore the adjust so thatit doesnt interfere with outcalculations.

Building the Simulation
We will be modifying the heat exchanger modeled in the Heat
Integration module. Open the case saved at the end of module and
ignore the Adjust operation.
Modeling Heat Exchangers
In this workshop, we will examine a heat exchanger from the Pre-Heat
Train. Heat exchangers are modelled in HYSYS using one of three
configurations:
Shell and Tube
Cooler/Heater
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) exchanger
The Cooler/Heater operations are single-sided unit operations where
only one process stream passes through the operation. The LNG
Exchanger allows for multiple (more than two) process streams.
A shell and tube heat exchanger is a two-sided unit operation that
permits two process streams to exchange heat.
In this module, a shell and tube exchanger of given dimensions will be
rated to see if it will meet the requirements of the process.

Heat Exchanger Calculations
The calculations performed by the Heat Exchanger are based on energy
balances for the hot and cold fluids. The following general relation
defines the heat balance of an exchanger.
where: M = Fluid mass flow rate
H = Enthalpy
Qleak= Heat Leak
Qloss= Heat Loss
The Balance Error is a Heat Exchanger Specification which, for most
applications, will equal zero. The subscripts "hot" and "cold" designate
the hot and cold fluids, while "in" and "out" refer to the inlet and outlet.
The Heat Exchanger duty may also be defined in terms of the overall
heat transfer coefficient, the area available for heat exchange and the log
mean temperature difference:
where: U = Overall heat transfer coefficient
A = Surface area available for heat transfer
LMTD = Log mean temperature difference
Ft= LMTD correction factor

Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD)
The LMTD is calculated in terms of the temperature approaches
(terminal temperature differences) in the exchanger using the following
equation:
where:
The LMTD can be either terminal or weighted. This means that it can be
calculate over the exchanger as a whole (terminal) or over sections of the
exchanger (weighted). The need for this type of calculation is shown on
the next page.
The following plot is a heat loss curve for a single phase stream. It
compares the temperatures of the process streams with the heat flow
over the entire length of the exchanger. For single phase streams, these
plots are linear.

The following curve represents a superheated vapour being cooled and
then condensed. Note that it is not linear because of the condensation
that takes places inside the exchanger.
If the LMTD is calculated using the hot fluid temperatures at points A
and C, the result would be incorrect because the heat transfer is not
constant over the length of the exchanger. To calculate the weighted
LMTD:
1. Break the heat loss curve into regions at point B.
2. Calculate the terminal LMTD for each region.
3. Sum all of the LMTDs to find the overall LMTD.
HYSYS will do this automatically if the Heat Exchanger model is chosen
asWeighted. Therefore, if condensation or vaporization is expected to
occur in the exchanger, it is important that Weighted is chosen as the
model.
Available Heat Exchanger Models
There are five shell and tube heat exchanger models available in HYSYS.
The End Point and Weighted models can be used for material and
energy balance for any two-sided heat exchangers. They can also be
used for shell and tube exchangers material and energy balance. Steady-
State Rating model is used for rating in steady-state mode as well as in
dynamic simulation.

The basics of each model:
End Point Model. This model is based on Q = UAFt(LMTD). The
main assumptions behind this model are the overall heat transfercoefficient U is constant the specific heats of the streams at bothexchanger sides are constant. The heat curves of both shell andtube side are linear. The heat exchanger geometry is not takeninto account in this model.
Weighted Model. This model is particular powerful in dealingwith non-linear heat curve problems such as phase change ofpure components in one or both heat exchanger sides. The heatcurves are divided into a number of intervals and energy balanceis performed in each interval. This model can only be used forenergy and material balance. The heat exchanger geometry isnot taken into account in this model.
Steady State Rating Model. This model makes the sameassumptions as the End Point Model. It simply an extension of theEnd Point model which incorporates a rating calculation. Ifdetailed geometry information is provided, the exchanger can berated using this model. For linear or nearly linear heat curveproblems, this model is a good choice because it is much fasterthan the dynamic rating-detailed model.
Dynamic Basic Model. The Basic Model is based on Q =UAFt(LMTD) and makes the same assumptions as the End Pointmodel. This model was originally developed for dynamic modebut was extended for rating in steady state. This model issomewhat oversimplified in that geometry configurations are nottaken into account. Therefore, this model has limited functionality.When using this model, both pressure drops and the overall UAmust be specified.
Dynamic Detailed Model. The Detailed Model divides the entireheat exchanger into a number of heat zones. In each heat zonethere is a shell hold-up and one or more tube hold-ups, accordingto the number of tube passes per shell pass. It is a goodcounterpart to the Weighted Model. The Dynamic Detailed Modelis used both in steady state and in dynamic operation and isdesigned to solve any linear and non-linear heat curve problems.
Heat Exchanger Rating
Providing detailed heat exchanger to a HYSYS heat exchanger with the
Shell and Tube inlet streams fully defined, HYSYS can calculate the
conditions of the outlet streams. HYSYS iterates on the outlet
temperatures until the heat balance is satisfied. Pressure drops are
determined from the geometry.

We need to break the Kerosene_PA return connection to the Heat
Exchanger.
1. Break the connection of the Kerosene_PAReturn stream to the HeatExchanger.
2. Go to the Property View of the Heat Exchanger and complete theOutletShell with a stream called Kerosene Out.
3. Go to the Parameters tab. See that the pressure drop from the shellside has been deleted. Remove the one from the tubes because,
rating a Heat Exchanger, HYSYS, uses its own correlation to calculatethis value.
4. The Rating option can be chosen by selectingDynamic Rating fromthe Heat Exchanger Model drop-down menu on the Parameterspage on the Design tab. Note that once this model is chosen, allinformation on this page disappears. This is because with this typeof model the required information must be specified elsewhere.
Some of the physical design specifications of an exchanger must be
supplied on the Sizing page of the Rating tab.
When using the Rating mode the Duty can not be fixed, that means thatthe Streams entering the Heat Exchanger can not be fixed by theColumn, as they are when exporting the Pump Around.

The Rating tab has the following aspect.
The radio button selection in the Sizing Data group will dictate the type
of information shown at any given moment. Each parameter will be
defined later on in this module.
The radio buttons in the Sizing Data group include;
Overall. Required information about the entire exchanger. Most
of the information entered here is used only in dynamicsimulations.
Shell. Required information concerning the shell side of theexchanger. All variables must be specified.
Tube. Required information concerning the tube side of theexchanger. All variables must be specified.
The TEMA Type is selected as part of the Overall sizing data. There are
three drop-down lists which allow you to specify the geometry of the
front end stationary head type, the shell type and the rear end head type
for the exchanger. The following tables provide brief descriptions for
each designated TEMA Type letter. Drawings of the various TEMA types
can be found on page 11-4 of Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook,Sixth Edition.

If you want HYSYS to use general correlations to determine the shell and
tube side pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients, select theDetailed model on the Parameters page. This will allow HYSYS to
calculate the desired terms.
We are going to use some of the values provided by HYSYS by defaultand change others.
5. Introduce the following data where it corresponds:
6. Go to the Parameters tab and check the Detailed radio button. Notethat the data needed for the simulation changes.
The Rating model in HYSYS uses generalized correlations for heattransfer coefficients and pressure drop. These correlations are suitablefor approximate results in most cases but may not be valid for everyexchanger. For more accuracy, a rigorous model may be required.Please contact your Hyprotech representative for a list of available thirdparty heat exchanger packages that are compatible with HYSYS throughOLE Extensibility.

Make sure that both pressure drop cells are empty, as we said before,
HYSYS calculates the values.
Compare the Kerosene Out stream with the Kerosene_PA Return.
Completing the heat integration
From the previous exercise, we know that the Kerosene Out and the
Kerosene_PA Return streams have different values, this is because one is
calculated by the Heat Exchanger and the other by the Column,
respectively. To complete the heat integration and close the loop you
need to break the Pump around, since, as said before in Heat Exchange
rating, the outlet streams can not be fixed.
Once you've broken the Pumparound, the data in the Kerosene Streams
will be deleted, it's a good idea to keep the values of Kerosene_PA Return
to provide the Outlet Recycle stream with a starting point. Create a
stream called Kerosene_PA Return Copy and defined it fromKerosene_PA Return.
1. Go to the Atmosphere Column Property View.
2. Enter the Column Environment.
3. Delete the Kerosene SS Cooler. You will be asked if you want todelete all elements associated with the Pump Around. Answer NO.
You are also asked if you wish to delete the Kerosene Pa_Rate(Pa)since it is not required any more. AnswerYES.
4. Return to the Main Property View. AnswerYES to deleting theKerosene PA_Q Cooler.
5. You need to change the specifications for running the column later.Move to the Monitor page, and click in the Kerosene_PADuty(Pa)check box to deactivate it.
6. Add a Kerosene PA_Draw Flowspec of300 m3/h (45,000 barrels/day)

7. Add a Recycle unit and connect the Kerosene Out as the Inlet streamand the Kerosene_PA Return as the Outlet.
8. In the Numerical page of the Parameters tab, change the MaximumIterations to 20.
9. You need to provide the Outlet Recycle stream with an initial guess,so that all the streams entering the Column are defined, define itfrom the Kerosene_PA Return Copy you previously created.
10. Run the Atmosphere column.
Exercise 1In the previous module, we learned where to place Recycles. It is also
important to minimize the number of recycles used in the flowsheet.
Look at your simulation and decide where to place a single recycle to
converge the case.
