Need shell side pressure drop data for S&T

Need shell side pressure drop data for S&T

(OP)
I am looking for experimental data available in the open literature for the shell side pressure drop in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Present shell side pressure drop methods give answers 50% low to 200% high according to Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook.
I already have the following:
   Tinker
   Argonne data by Halle,Chenoweth & Wambsganss
   Silvester & Doyle (1982)
Presently my method has + or - 3% accuracy for baffle cuts in the 24 to 29 % range. There is very limited data for smaller baffle cuts. Silvester & Doyle have data for a 40.6 % cut. Does anyone know of any other data sources ?
