4.1.6 Convective effects in tube bundles

The average boiling heat-transfer coefficient, hb, is expressed as follows:

hb = hnbFb + hnc (4.16)

where hnc is a heat-transfer coefficient for liquid-phase natural convection and Fb is a factorthat accounts for the effect of the thermosyphon-type circulation in the tube bundle. The

33


bundle convection factor is correlated in terms of bundle geometry by the following empiricalequation,

Fb = 1.0 + 0.1

[0.785Db

(4.17)

where,

Db = bundle diameter (outer tube-limit diameter)Do = tube ODPT = tube pitchC1 = 1.0 for square and rotated square layouts

= 0.866 for triangular layouts

For larger temperature differences, therefore, Palen suggests using a rough approximationfor hnc of 250 W/m

2 K (44 Btu/h ft2F) for hydrocarbons and 1000 W/m2 K (176 Btu/hft2F) for water and aqueous solutions.

4.2 Critical heat flux

The equation for critical heat flux is generally used in the following form:

qc = 0.149v [ggc (L v)]0.25 (4.18)

4.2.1 Mostinski correlation

where qc Btu/hft2 and Pc in psia.For SI unit,

qc = 367PcP0.35r (1 Pr)0.9 (4.20)

where qc W/m2 and Pc in kPa.

For tube bundles, Palen presented the following correlation:

qc,bundle = qc,tubeb (4.21)

where

qc,bundle = critical heat flux for tube bundleqc,tube = critical heat flux for a single tubeb = bundle correction factor

4.3 Two Phase Flow

4.3.1 Pressure drop correlations

The Lockhart-Martinelli correlation

The two-phase pressure gradient is expressed as,

(Pf/L)tp = 2L (Pf/L)L (4.22)

where

2L = two-phase multiplier(Pf/L)L = negative pressure gradient for liquid alone(Pf/L)tp = negative two-phase pressure gradient

The two-phase multiplier is a function of the parameter, X, which is defined as follows:

X =

[(Pf/L)L(Pf/L)v

]0.5(4.23)

where (Pf/L)v is the pressure gradient that would occur if the vapor phase flowed alone inthe conduit.The relationship between 2L and X was given in graphical form by Lockhart andMartinelli, and subsequently expressed analytically by Chisholm as follows:

2L = 1 +C

X+

1

X2(4.24)

The constant, C, depends on whether the flow in each phase is laminar or turbulent, as shownin Table 4.1.

Table 4.1: Values of the Constant in Equation 4.24

Turbulent Turbulent tt > 2000 > 2000 20

Turbulent Viscous (laminar) tv > 2000 < 1000 10

For the turbulent-turbulent case,

Xtt =

(1 xx

)0.1(4.25)

where, x is vapour mass fraction.

The Chisholm correlation

The two-phase pressure gradient is expressed as,

(Pf/L)tp = 2LO (Pf/L)LO (4.26)

where,

35


2LO = two-phase multiplier(Pf/L)LO = negative pressure gradient for liquid alone(Pf/L)tp = negative two-phase pressure gradient

The correlation for the two-phase multiplier is the following:

2LO = 1 +(Y 2 1){B [x (1 x)](2n)/2 + x2n} (4.27)Y =

(Lv

)0.5(vL

)n/2(4.28)

where n = 0.2314For English unit with G in units of lbm/h ft2:

B = 1500/G (0 < Y 9.5)

= 14250/(YG)

(9.5 < Y 28) (4.29)= 399000/

(Y 2G)

(Y > 28)

For calculations in SI units, the following conversion can be used:

G(lbm/h ft2) 737.35G(kg/s m2)

The Friedel correlation

The two-phase pressure gradient is expressed in the same manner as the Chisholm method,Equation 4.26 with the following correlation for the two-phase multiplier:

2LO = E +3.24FH

Fr0.045We0.035(4.30)

where,

E = (1 x)2 + x2 (v/L)0.2314 (L/v)F = x0.78 (1 x)0.24H = (L/v)

Fr =G2

gDi2tp= Froude numbar

We =G2Digctp

Di = internal diameter of conduit

tp = two-phase density

For the purpose of this correlation, the two-phase density is calculated as follows:

tp = [x/v + (1 x) /L]1 (4.31)where, x is vapour mass fraction.

36


Slip ratio,

SR =

Ltp

(4.32)

void fraction is computed

v =x

x+ SR (1 x) v/L (4.33)

Finally, the average two-phase density is computed as,

tp = vv + (1 v) L (4.34)

The Muller-Steinhagen and Heck(MSH) correlation

The correlation is reformulated in the Chisholm format of Equation 4.26 with the two-phasemultiplier given by the following equation:

2LO = Y2x3 +

[1 + 2x

(Y 2 1)] (1 x)1/3 (4.35)

where x is the vapor mass fraction and Y is the Chisholm parameter (equation 4.28).

4.4 Convective Boiling in Tubes

4.4.1 Heat transfer coefficient

The Chen correlation

hb = SCHhnb + FxhL (4.36)

where

hb = convective boiling heat-transfer coefficienthnb = nucleate boiling heat-transfer coefficient

(X1tt + 0.213

)0.736for (Xtt < 10)

1.25

The heat flux is calculated as follows:

q = SCHhnb (Tw Tsat) + hL (Tw Tb) (4.37)

whereas convective heat transfer coefficient, hL, can be calculated using Dittus-Boelter equa-tion,

hL = 0.023 (kL/Di)Re0.8L Pr

0.4L (4.38)

37


4.4.2 Critical heat flux

ht = hfb + 0.75hr (4.46)

Fair recommends calculating tp at a vapour weight fraction equal to one-thirds the value atthe reboiler exit using equation (4.34). where,

=(1 xe)21 v,e +

In this equation, xe and v,e are the vapour mass fraction and the void fraction at the reboilerexit.

The pressure gradient in the sensible heating zone is calculated as follows:

(P/L) = L (g/gc) + Pf,BC/L (4.67)

The temperature gradient in the sensible heating zone is estimated as follows:

T/L =ntpiDoUDTm

miCpL(4.68)

Here, UD and Tm are the overall coefficient and mean driving force, respectively, for thesensible heating zone.
