3 Use of approximate equations

Shell dia or tube bundle dia can be found out Db = d0 (Nt/k1)

1/n1 

 where Db  = Tube bundle dia, mm

  d0  = Tube OD, mm   Nt = Total no. of tubes

  k1 & n1 are constants

Above equation is used for fixed tube sheettype and floating head shell and tube heatexchangers.

Triangular and rotated square patterns givehigher heat transfer rates but at the expense ofa higher pressure drop than the square pattern.

A square or rotated square arrangement , isused for heavily fouling fluids where it isnecessary to mechanically clean the outside ofthe tubes.

Recommended tube pitch (distance betweentube centres) is 1.25 times the tube OD

Gas oil at 2000C is to be cooled to 400C. The oil

flow rate is 50000 kg/hr. The cooling water is

available at 250C and the temperature rise is

limited to 300C . The pressure drop allowance

on shell side is 100 kN/m2. Calculate the shell

side heat transfer coefficient as well as thepressure drop. Neglect the viscosity correction

on shell side.
