Talk:Shell-and-tube heat exchanger

Suggested Improvements?
1 Shell-side - Clarification of the locations at which rhoxV2 is defined.

2 Recommended maximum values.

3 Tube Side - Recommended minimum and maximum values for rhoxV^2 inside tubes to ensure good dispersion of glycol film.

4 Recommended fouling factor to take account of glycol film.

5 Recommendations regarding glycol spray nozzle design.

For Kettle reboilers:

1 Recommended maximum heat flux to avoid unstable (film) boiling regime.

2 Maximum temperature difference between tube wall and boiling fluid.

3 Maximum Liquid inlet nozzle velocities or rhoxV^2 value.

4 Number and placement of liquid inlet nozzles.

5 Maximum Vapour exit nozzle velocity or rhoxV^2 value.

6 Number and placement of Vapour exit nozzles.

7 Recommendations for space above maximum liquid level for adequate disengagement of liquid droplets

For Selection of tube material:

A chart to tell number of tubes that go in heat exchangers
I need to know if there is a website to go to to find a chart, spreadsheet, etc that will tell me how many tubes go in different name brand heat exchangers. Thank you Becky Goes Heating Systems — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.16.250.78 (talk) 15:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
