    Preliminary Heat Exchanger Sizing: These Calculations Are Provided For Educational Use Only - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

    Uploaded by

    Raol Varshaben
    This document provides a preliminary sizing calculation for a shell and tube heat exchanger. It calculates the heat transfer area of 126 square feet and utility requirements, including a flow rate of 3,996 gallons per minute, needed for a process requiring 4 million British thermal units per hour of condensing duty. Key inputs include process stream temperatures of 41-121 degrees Fahrenheit and a tube outside diameter of 1 inch.
