HE Shell & Tube HP7 Example:
Comparison 1-1 and 1-2 (for the same dimensions, number of tubes, flowrate...) L With 2 passes in tubes the mean velocity increased 2x, path increased 2x, heat transfer surface the same. Therefore pressure drop will be increased 4x in laminar and 8x in fully developed turbulent regime (Fanning factor f is indirectly proportional to velocity in laminar, while f is constant in turbulent regime). On the other hand increased velocity in the 2pass configuration decreases fouling rate and increases heat transfer. Nusselt number is Re1/3 and Re0.8 in laminar and turbulent regime, respectively. Therefore heat transfer coefficient increases 21/3=1.26 times in laminar, and 20.8=1.7 times in turbulent flow regime.

HE Thermal design HP7 SIZING methods (how to calculate heat transfer surface, given temperatures and flow rate) RATING methods (how to calculate outlet temperatures and duty for given HE) Thermal design is based upon enthalpy balances and upon calculation of temperature profiles using correlations for heat transfer coefficients. Results are frequently expressed in form of design diagrams. Alternative approach is CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics)
13
Capacity rate W [W/K] is calculated for one phase flow as
HE Thermal design HP7 W1 T1’ W1 T1’’ W2 T2’’ W2 T2’ Q=kST Qloss Capacity rate W [W/K] is calculated for one phase flow as Enthalpy balance of the whole HE (steady state) Enthalpy balance of the stream 1 (steady state) There are three unknowns when RATING: outlet temperatures and Q (duty of HE). Heat losses Qloss are usually small and can be neglected or estimated knowing thermal resistance of insulation. There is only one unknown when SIZING: “effective” heat transfer surface kS .
14
HE Thermal design HP7 Enthalpy balances represents only 2 equations, the third one is where k is overall heat transfer coefficient calculated from heat transfer coefficients on both streams, thermal resistance of fouling layers and thermal resistance of wall (thickness h) Mean temperature difference is defined as Mean temperature difference can be calculated only if detailed temperature profiles inside HE are known (see later).
15
HE Thermal design HP7 Only in the case of two parallel flows it is possible to calculate the mean temperature difference as LMTD (logarithmic mean temperature difference) T1’ T2’ T1’’ T2’’ T1 T2 ’=T1’-T2’ =T1-T2 ’’=T1’’-T2’’ s S T1’ T2’ T1’’ T2’’ T1 T2 ’=T1’-T2’ =T1-T2 ’’=T1’’-T2’’ Qs Q This diagram was used in PINCH analysis. Do you remember? (composite curves of hot and cold streams)
16
HE Thermal design HP7 Proof follows from the linear relationship between temperature and enthalpy flow Qs T1’ T2’ T1’’ T2’’ T1 T2 ’=T1’-T2’ =T1-T2 ’’=T1’’-T2’’ Qs Q and this is ordinary differential equation which can be integrated giving
17
HE Thermal design HP7 The same holds for the counter current heat exchanger = proof is identical etc., with the same result: T1’ T2’ T1’’ T2’’ T1 T2 ’=T1’-T2’’ =T1-T2 ’’=T1’’-T2’ Qs Q
18
HE Thermal design HP7 This approach cannot be used for more complicated arrangement of streams, for example cross-flow HE (temperature distribution in streams are functions of two variables x,y). Even the HE with parallel flows with more than one pass or more than two streams must be based upon temperature profiles expressed as functions of coordinates (x,y, or heat transfes surface measured from one end of HE). In this case temperature profiles are calculated from enthalpic balances of individual streams (or individual passes). For example the previous case of two parallel flows is solved from two balances (x-distance from one end of HE) Enthalpy balances x (k is heat transfer coef. related to unit length of HE!! not to the unit heat transfer surface, check units)
19
HE Thermal design HP7 These differential equations can be written in matrix form This system of coupled differential equations is transformed to uncoupled system by transformation (temperatures T(x) are transformed to new variables Z(x)) where U is eigenvector matrix associated to conductivity matrix A where is diagonal matrix of eigenvalues 1 2. To find out eigenvector matrix and eigenvalues given matrix A is standard operation available in scientific computer libraries, for example using single command in MATLAB [L,U]=eig(A).

International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer 45 (2002) 2695–2705 recommended for reading This paper describes the previous method of temperature profiles calculation in more details. It is always usefull to read Roetzel’s papers A mathematical model for predicting the steady-state thermal performance of one-dimensional (cocurrent and countercurrent) multistream heat exchangers and their networks is developed and is solved analytically for constant physical properties of streams. By introducing three matching matrices, the general solution can be applied to various types of one-dimensional multistream heat exchangers such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers and plate–fin heat exchangers as well as their networks. The general solution is applied to the calculation and design of multistream heat exchangers. Examples are given to illustrate the procedures in detail. Based on this solution the superstructure model is developed for synthesis of heat exchanger networks.

HP7 Analytical expression for temperature profiles in subchannels Coefficients [d] follow from boundary conditions (inlet temperatures at N streams) and from the fact that outlet temperatures of M- subchannels are inlet temperatures of connected subchannels (defined by matrix [[G]]). Inlet temperatures of subchannels are either inlet temperatures of streams or outlet temperatures of connected subchannels This is system of M linear algebraic equations for vector [d]. Outlet temperatures can be expressed as

HE design diagrams F-correction
HP7 Method LMTD, Bowman et al. (1940) is an example of SIZING methods. Heat transfer surface is calculated from where TLM is logarithmic mean temperature difference (LMTD) based only upon inlet and outlet temperatures (see next). FT is a correction factor dependent upon and W. Remark: HEDH (Heat Exchanger Design Handbook) use the symbol P for thermal effectiveness (instead of ) and the symbol R as the ratio of heat capacities (instead of W, shown in the graph) FT<0.75 indicates unsuitable flow arrangement (use a different configuration of HE)
32
HE design diagrams F-correction
HP7 Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference is expressed only by inlet/outlet temperatures of both streams, not taking into account specific location of inlet/outlet ports. The following definition is quite general T1’ T2’ T1’’ T2’’ T1 T2 ’=T1’-T2’’ =T1-T2 ’’=T1’’-T2’ This LMTD corresponds to the counter-current heat exchanger. For any other (nonideal) HE it is necessary to decrease the TLM value by the F-correction
33
HE design diagrams F-correction
HP7 The correction TLM depends upon two parameters As soon as the stream 2 is weaker (W1>W2, R<1) the parameter P can be called effectiveness (and denoted by symbol ). Effectiveness is the ratio of thermal power Q of the analysed exchanger to the power Qmax of an ideal (counter current) HE having infinite heat transfer surface. In that case outlet temperature of the stream 2 approaches inlet temperature of the stream 1 (T1’=T2’’) T1’ T1’’ T2’ T2’’ W1<W2 T1’ T1’’ T2’ T2’’ W1>W2

HE CFD analysis papers (segmental baffles)
HP7 Ender Ozden, Ilker Tari: Shell side CFD analysis of a small shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Energy Conversion and Management 51 (2010) 1004–1014 The shell side design of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger; in particular the baffle spacing, baffle cut and shell diameter dependencies of the heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop are investigated by numerically modeling a small heat exchanger. The flow and temperature fields inside the shell are resolved using a commercial CFD package. A set of CFD simulations is performed for a single shell and single tube pass heat exchanger with a variable number of baffles and turbulent flow. The results are observed to be sensitive to the turbulence model selection. The best turbulence model among the ones considered is determined by comparing the CFD results of heat transfer coefficient, outlet temperature and pressure drop with the Bell–Delaware method results. For two baffle cut values, the effect of the baffle spacing to shell diameter ratio on the heat exchanger performance is investigated by varying flow rate. Too small baffle cut and too long spacing optimum Bell–Delaware recommended segmental baffle cut values as a function of B/Ds ratio. SBC: segmental baffle cuts in no-phase-change flow; CV: baffle cuts applicable to condensing vapors

HP7 Q.W. Dong, Y.Q. Wang, M.S. Liu: Numerical and experimental investigation of shellside characteristics for RODbaffle heat exchanger. Applied Thermal Engineering 28 (2008) 651–660 RODbaffle heat exchanger is a kind of shell-and-tube heat exchanger with eminent performance. Because of the characteristics of tube bundle support structure, fluid flow on shellside is longitudinal and periodical, and fluid flow is of symmetry in landscape orientation. According to the fluid flow characteristics on shellside and ignoring the impact of inlet, outlet and shell wall, a periodic flow unit duct was taken as the simplified model of the shellside to perform numerical simulation by using CFD code, FLUENT. It was found that the both errors in magnitude of the main fluid velocities and heat transfer coefficients between results of simulation and that of experiment or correlations are less than 10%, and the errors of pressure drop between simulation and correlation are no more than 20%. The detailed characteristics and relation of fluid flow and heat transfer on shellside of the RODbaffle heat exchanger were analyzed using the simulation results.

HP7 Jian-Fei Zhang, Ya-Ling He, Wen-Quan Tao: 3D numerical simulation on shell-and-tube heat exchangers with middle-overlapped helical baffles and continuous baffles – Part II: Simulation results of periodic model and comparison between continuous and noncontinuous helical baffles. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer 52 (2009) 5381–5389 In this paper, based on the simplified periodic model the performance predictions for heat exchanger with middle-overlapped helical baffles are carried out by 3D simulation for three different helix angles (30, 40 and 50), and the commercial codes of GAMBIT 2.3 and FLEUNT 6.3 are adopted in the simulation. It is found that the model average heat transfer coefficient per unit pressure drop of the 40 angle case is the largest, which is in qualitative agreement with the existing literature. The predicted average intersection angle of this case is the smallest, being consistent with the field synergy principle. The performance of periodic model with continuous helical baffle is also compared with that of the noncontinuous middle-overlapped helical baffles. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient per unit pressure drop of the noncontinuous middle-overlapped helical baffles is appreciably larger than that of the continuous helical baffle, indicating that the heat exchanger with noncontinuous middle-overlapped helical baffles has its advantage over the one with continuous helical baffle.
