DESIGNING SPIRAL-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS
Design a liquid-condensing spiral-tube heat exchanger for the following
conditions:
Calculation Procedure:
1. Determine the rate of heat transfer and molecular weight tubeside and
shellside for the heat exchanger
The rate of heat transfer, Btu/h = (flow rate, lb/h) (heat of vaporization of the
shellside fluid) = (3422) (945) = 3,233,790 Btu/h (3412 MJ/h).
