Shell-and-Tube Hxer
Example:* A steel mill needs to cool 3,000 gal/hr of a dilute acid from 200F to 130F using 5,000 gal/hr of 80F river water. A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is available (see description below). Determine if this heat exchanger is sufficient for this task.
Description of available heat exchanger:
type: 1-2
tubes: 158 1-inch, 14BWG stainless tubes, 16 ft long, stacked in 1¼ inch square pitch
baffles: 25% with 6 inch pitch
shell: 20 inch inside diameter, mild steel
