Heat Exchanger Design

This document describes the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger to transfer heat between a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) stream and a water stream. Key specifications and calculations are provided, including material properties, flow rates, heat transfer area required, tube and shell dimensions, and heat transfer coefficients. A 2-pass shell and tube heat exchanger with 38 carbon steel tubes arranged in a square pitch is designed to achieve a required heat transfer of 265.4 kW between the streams.

shell and Tube type heat exchanger is used

let we assume overall coefficient to be 750 w/m2.C


m(NaOH) = 2.222222222 Kg/s

Cp = 3.8805 kJ.Kg/°C

ΔTml = 32.741 °C

S = 0.166666667

R = 4

Ft = 0.94 (Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering Design Vol 6 Figure 12. 19)

a 2-pass shell & tube type heat-exchanger will be used

∆Tm = ∆Tml*Ft
= 30.776

Q = m *Cp* ∆Tm (Assume No unintended heat loss,Staedy state,No change in potential or kinetic energy,No

= 265.394 kW

Ui = 750 W/m2.°C

Q = Ui*Ai*∆Tm

Ai = Q/(Ui*∆Tm )

Ai = 11.498 m2

Nacl flow rate = 2.222222222 Kg/s

Water flow rate = 6.346100712 Kg/s

NaOH is sent through tube and Water through shell

consider the diameters of tubes

Outer diameter (D0) = 20 mm

Inner diameter (DI) = 16 mm

Wall thickness = 2 mm

Length = 5m

Selecting carbon steel tubes arrangment

we use square pitch

Pt = 1.25*D0

Pt = 25 mm
Pt

Then we can find number of tubes

Area of one tube = π*Do*L

A1 = 0.31416

Number of tubes = Ai/A1

= 36.5986
= 38

since the heat exchanger 2 passes

tube per pass = 19

Velocity inside tubes

Tube cross sectional area = (π/4)*D12

Tube cross sectional area = 0.0002011 m2

Area per pass = num of tube per pass*(π/4)*D12

= 0.0038202 m2

Tube side valocity = volumetric flow rate/ one pass area

= 0.5821774 m/s

Re = 13296.152
