From graph we find value of Ft

Ft = 0.95 Corrected LMTD = 86 C

Hot Fluid at Tube Side

Taking 3-inch pipe of schedule 40

At = 0.00476 m^2 L = 2.4 m

Internal Diameter = 0.077 m

Outer Diameter =0.089 m
G = 3643/0.0047 = 7.8x105 Kj/Hr
= 2 x 10^-5 Pa. s
Re = 5.8 x 105
From graph
Jh = 0.003
K = 160
By using equation
Hi = 0.13
Hio = 0.13*0.077/0.089 = 0.112

Shell Side Calculations

G = 1670/2*2.4 = 348
Taverage = 55 C
= 0.00102 Kg/ms
Re = 4G/ = 6 x 10 ^ 6
From equation

Ho = 1020
Uc = 1020*0.112/(1020+0.112)= 102

Heat Transfer Area = Q/U Tlmtd

A = 38 m2
Number of Tubes Required
A/AtL = 38/ 0.716 = 53 tubes
