1 6 0 , 0 0 0 l b m h propyl alcohol is to be heated from 6 5 F to 1 0 0

160,000lbmh propyl alcohol is to be heated from 65F to 100F in a shell-and-tube heat exchanger The 140,000lbmh heated kerosene stream available at 150F is used for this purpose. It is found that kerosene is dirtier than the propyl alcohol and offers twice the value of fouling factor to that of propyl alcohol. The dirt factor for propyl alcohol is 0.001 h.ft ?2.FBtu. Design a shell-and-tube heat exchanger for this service. Do one trial only and suggest what to do in the next trial.
The following additional information is provided:
-Use simplified Bell-Delaware method so use 20% baffle cut
-Use AES shell-and-tube heat exchanger
-Use Bd, ratio as 0.2
-Take tube size as I in OD,14 BWG,1.25 in square pitch, and Is ft length
Take the overall heat transfer coefficient for the kerosene-propyl alcohol as 40-60Btu(h*ft2*F) and use 56 Btu/h.ft2*F to start the calculations
Tube side heat transfer coefticient as 152.46Btuh,ft2*p
-Assume negligible viscosity correction factors
-Take wall thermal conductivity as 22Btuh*ft*F
-Use thermal conductivity of kerosene as 0.085 and propyl alcohol as 0.08Btu (
h.tt F)
Take specific gravity of kerosene as 0.65 and propyl alcohol as 0.77
-Use specific heat capacity of kerosene as 0.58Btu(1bmF) and its viscosity as 2.2lbm(ft*h)
-Available nozzle pipe is schedule 80
-Total tube side pressure drop is 2.145 psia
-Allowable pressure drop on each side is 5 psia
