    This document provides a preliminary sizing calculation for a shell and tube heat exchanger. It calculates the heat transfer area of 127 square feet and utility requirements, including a flow rate of 3,996 gallons per minute, to transfer 4 million British thermal units per hour from a condensing process stream entering at 41°F and leaving at 125°F to water entering at 400°F and leaving at 398°F using a 1-inch tube with a 16-foot length. It lists key assumptions about the heat exchanger configuration and fluid properties.
