Back Calculate Heat Exchanger from Test Data
Oh I think I understand. So I was looking to solve for this equation for the shell side area: As = DsCB/Pt where Ds = inner shell diameter C = clearence B = baffle spacing Pt = Tube pitch But I dont think there are any baffles. So instead I should be able to just use As = pi*Ds^2/4 -...- pcarrollg

Back Calculate Heat Exchanger from Test Data
Hi, I'm looking to backcalculate the properties of a heat exchanger we've purchased based on test data to characterize the heat exchanger. This is an air to air heat exchanger and we're assuming it's dry air. What I'm looking to calculate is: 1. Surface Area 2. Heat Duty 3. Heat Transfer...- pcarrollg
