Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers


The following heuristic (from Seider et al, 2004) is
useful to assist in selecting which process fluid
should be designed to pass through the tubes, and
which should pass through the shell:
Heuristic 55:
The tube side is for corrosive, fouling, scaling,
hazardous, high temperature, high-pressure,
and more expensive fluids.
The shell side is for more viscous, cleaner,
lower flow-rate, evaporating and condensing
fluids.

Fin-fan Heat Exchangers


Heuristic 56:
For an air-cooled exchanger, the tubes are typically 1 in outside diameter. The ratio of fin surface area to
tube outside bare area is 15-20. Fan power requirement
is the range 2-5 Hp per 106 Btu/hr, or 20 Hp per 1,000
ft2 of tube outside surface (fin-free) area. Minimum
approach temperature is about 50 oF (much higher than
water-cooled exchangers). Without the fins, the
overall heat transfer coefficients would be about 10
Btu/hr ft2 oF. With the fins, U = 80-100 Btu/hr ft2 oF,
based on tube outside, bare surface area.

Heuristic 57:
Typical fluxes in fired heaters are 12,000 Btu/hr-ft2
in the radiation section and 4,000
Btu/hr-ft2 in the convection section, with
approximately equal duties in the two sec- tions.
Typical process liquid velocity in the tubes is 6 ft/s.

Temperature-Driving Forces
The rate of heat transfer in an shell-and-tube
exchanger is computed as:
Q = mc (HC ,out - HC ,in ) = mh (HH ,out - HH ,in )
Assuming (1) steady-state; (2) counter- or cocurrent flow; (3) constant overall heat transfer
coefficient; (4) no phase changes on either side; and
(5) negligible heat losses:
Q = U A TLM
where:

Temperature-Driving Forces
For multiple-pass shell-and-tube exchangers, the
flow directions of the two fluids are combinations of
countercurrent and co-current flow, reducing the
effective value of TLM . For a 1-2 exchanger, with
assumptions 1, 3, 4 and 5:
It is desirable to
Q = U A TLM
have a value of FT

Main Steps Involved


Objective: To design a shell-and-tube exchanger to
perform heat transfer from a hot stream to a cold
stream.
Specifications: Given stream physical properties,
mass flow rate, process stream source and target
temperatures, and the mass flow rate and source
temperature of the duty stream.
The mechanical design of a shell-and-tube heat
exchanger involves two main steps:

Iterative Design Procedure

It is of interest to reduce the heat transfer


surface area to a minimum, since this will lead
to the cheapest design.
Must satisfy the pressure drop specification
(usually pre-defined), which affects the overall
heat transfer coefficient.
An iterative design is called for since fluid
velocity, pressure drop and heat transfer
coefficient are all related:

Iterative Design Procedure


Computation of shell-and-tube exchangers involves
iteration, since the heat transfer coefficients,
pressure drops and heat transfer area all depend
on the designs geometric configuration, which
needs to be determined.
The geometric configuration (to be determined)
includes the following:
