Step 4. Start configuring the exchanger. Begin with the total calculated transfer coefficients to this point (i.e., not including shellside h): Ustart = 120 On that basis, assumed Uo = Then the required transfer A = Number of tubes required = Reset tubes/pass (Step 3), then no. of passes = Total tube count = Tubeside P (incl. returns) = Actual effective transfer area, A = 275 2 180 448 2 450 1.871 2 189

Step 2. Input tubing OD, BWG and length (can be trial and error).
Shell ID from Tube Count Tables Select Baffle Spacing Number of Baffles = Flow Area across Bundle, as = Equivalent Diameter, de (see table) = Mass Velocity, Gs = Shellside Reynolds No., NRe = Shellside Friction Factor = Shellside P = Outside Transfer Factor, jh = Outside Film Coefficient, ho = Calculated Uo = Check: % difference, Ucalc. vs Uassum. = Uclean =

Tubes/pass = lb/h per tube = Av. velocity, fps = Tubeside Reynolds No., NRe = Tubeside Friction Factor, f = P per pass, psi = Nusselt number, Nr = Inside Film Coefficient, hi =
Step 6. Check tubeside velocity and P, shellside P. If too high or too low, adjust tube length, number of tubes per pass, number of passes, and/or shell baffle spacing. Remember to reset shell diameter from tube count tables, as required.
