Thank you!
Yes, in this case, the overall U is limited by the shellside heat transfer coefficient. In such situations, we should aim to balance the system as much as possible, right?
As for the tubeside pressure drop, I'm working within the specified limit range.
Yes, I will use 2205 for tubesheet.
As I mentioned, I'm new to this field. Is it necessary to flare both the inlet and outlet of the tubes? Is this a common practice? Does it improve the connection with the tubesheet?
My main concern is the potential for erosion inside the tubes, or any specific phenomena that may arise due to the combination of high gas velocity and droplet formation from condensation. The presence of entrained droplets at high velocity could potentially lead to erosion or other effects. As...
The tube material can be either SS304L or Duplex 2205.
Just to confirm — impingement protection is typically intended only for the shell-side fluid, correct? Its main purpose is to protect the tube bundle from erosion caused by high-velocity flow or particles on the shell side.
In this case...
Hello everyone,
I'm currently in the process of designing a heat exchanger using Aspen, where the shellside carries liquid and the tubeside carries gas. For the liquid phase, we have RhoV² limits according to TEMA, but I’m unsure if there are similar guidelines for gas velocities.
From the...
