Question:
Water is flowing at a rate of 240,000 lbm/hr through the shell-side of a shell and tube heat exchanger. The average temperature of the water is 40°F. The shell has a diameter of 17¼-in and there is one tube pass. The shell contains 12 baffles with a spacing of 10 in. The tubes are ¾-in 15 BWG tubes on a 1-in triangular pitch.
Determine the following,
a. The shell-side convective heat transfer coefficient (Btu/hr-ft2-°F)
b. The shell-side pressure drop (psi)
