In a multipass shell and tube heat exchanger, tube side return pressure loss is equal to __________ the velocity head.
A single pass shell and tube heat exchanger, consisting of a bundle of 100 tubes (inner diameter 25 mm and thickness 2 mm) is used for heating 28 kg/s of water from 25 degree Celsius to 75 degree Celsius with the help of a steam condensing at atmospheric pressure on the shell side with condensing heat transfer coefficient 5000 W/m2 degree. Make calculation for overall heat transfer coefficient based on the inner area. Take fouling factor on the water side to be 0.002 m2 degree/W per tube and neglect effect of fouling factor on the shell side and thermal resistance of the tube wall
Plate type heat exchangers have less surface area as compared to a similar Shell and Tube heat exchanger. A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger of equivalent area weigh six-seven times less than a Plate Type heat exchanger.
