A shell - and - tube heat exchanger is to be required to decrease the temperature of 1 9 0 , 0 0 0 I

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is to be required to decrease the temperature of 190,000Ibmh nitrobenzene from 180F to 110F. Cooling water available at 27C is decided to be used for this purpose where the outlet temperature of the cooling water is needed to limit to 120F. You are asked to calculate the design overall heat transfer coefficient of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger desired for this duty. Assume that the nitrobenzene stream is flowing on the shell side and there is no fouling offered by the nitrobenzene stream. Do single trial only.
Other data:
Use simplified Delaware method
Use fixed tubesheet heat exchanger (TEMA L as rear end) for your design
Use 24ft tube length, 1 in OD tube (16 BWG), and 1.25 in triangular pitch
Use Ureq to start =110Btuh*ft2*F and ignore viscosity correction factors
Thermal conductivity of wall:
35Btuh*ftF
Specific gravity of water:
1.0
Specific gravity of nitrobenzene:
0.84
Average thermal conductivity of water:
0.36Btuh*ft*F
Average thermal conductivity of nitrobenzene: 0.08Btuh*ft*F
