Heat Transfer Calculations

The document contains calculations for heat transfer and pipe sizing for various processes. It includes calculations of feed rate, temperatures, heat load, required area, flow rates, line sizes, and velocities. Pipe sizes were determined based on fluid flow rates and assumed velocities. Heat loads and required heat exchanger areas were found using parameters like latent heat, specific heat, temperature differences and heat transfer coefficients.
