This takes you to "Design",

not to Help.
What are needed are:
1) Detailed instructions;
2) A detailed listing of all nomenclatureWhat
used. is this for? It doesn't
3) Indication of all required INPUT cells work anyway.
Too much color --- especially black background.
Keep it simple....
Why is 1/3 of the page
duplicated at the bottom???

What are these for? They

work, but doesn't this
belong in "Design"???

When I select the fluid(s),

the boxes turn RED and
some random "Design" cells
also turn RED. This is bad.

Background

A shell and tube heat exchanger, also known as the “workhorse” of industrial process heat transfer, i
It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical proc
applications. Other types of heat exchangers are used when economical. Though the applicatio
increasing, the shell and tube heat exchanger will continue its popularity for a long time, largely beca

Construction
As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a b
through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell) to transfer heat betw
called a tube bundle, and may be composed by several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned,
Shell and tube heat exchanger units can be designed for almost any combination of pressure and tem

Requirements of Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers have to fulfil1 the following requirements:

1.      High thermal effectiveness
2.      Pressure drop as low as possible
3.      Reliability and life expectancy
4.      High-quality product and safe operation
5.      Material compatibility with the process fluids
6.      Convenient size, easy for installation, reliable in use
7.      Easy for maintenance and servicing
8.      Light in weight but strong in construction to withstand the operational pressures
9.      Simplicity of manufacture
10.  Low cost
11.  Possibility of effecting repair to maintenance problems
