Group3 - Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

This document summarizes the design calculations for a heat exchanger with the following specifications: heavy naptha flows at 1.1 kg/s and is cooled from 76C to 55C, water flows at 1.0140789474 kg/s and is heated from 30C to 42C. The calculations determine that a shell and tube heat exchanger with 26 tubes, 2 tube passes and 1 shell pass is suitable. The design achieves an overall heat transfer coefficient of 528.60784609 W/m2K with less than 20% area overdesign.
