I'm working on an assignment for heat transfer. I have to design a condenser, and it reads quot;base design will be 2-shell pass, 2-tube-passquot;. The problem is I can’t find any information on the correction factor or effectiveness for a 2-shell 2-tube exchanger. I'm thinking the quot;2-tube-passquot; part is a typo and supposed to read 4-tube pass.Where could I find this information?
Oil condensate shouldn't be a common term for petroleum. The one condensate i'm conversant in is gasoline condensate and it is vitally similar to gasoline. In any case, the option of what's on the shell side or tube aspect of any exchanger is dependent on the traits of every fluid and what makes for the fine design. Usually a fluid that may be very viscous or tends to foul the exchanger is placed on the tube facet for ease of cleansing. If you could describe the traits of the oil condensate and the other fluid within the exchanger, maybe a greater rationalization of why it is on the shell part and now not the tube aspect.
Treat the design as two exchangers in series or two exchangers in parallel. It is just that simple.
