Step 2. Input tubing OD, BWG and length (can be trial and error).
Tube OD BWG Tube ID, d = Tube Length, L = Flow area per tube, at = Effective transfer area per tube =
Tubes/pass = lb/h per tube = Av. velocity, fps = Tubeside Reynolds No., NRe = Tubeside Friction Factor, f = DP per pass, psi = Nusselt number, Nr = Inside Film Coefficient, hi =
Step 6. Check tubeside velocity and DP, shellside DP. If too adjust tube length, number of tubes per pass, number of pa required.
Step 4. Start configuring the exchanger. Begin with the total calculated transfer coefficients to this point (i.e., not including shellside h): Ustart = 72 On that basis, assumed Uo = Then the required transfer A = Number of tubes required = Reset tubes/pass (Step 3), then no. of passes = Total tube count = Tubeside DP (incl. returns) = Actual effective transfer area, A = 20 398 253 2 258 0.036 405

Step 6. Check tubeside velocity and DP, shellside DP. If too high or too low, adjust tube length, number of tubes per pass, number of passes, and/or shell baffle spacing. Remember to reset shell diameter from tube count tables, as required.
