Engineering Sciences Data Unit ESDU 93018 design guide

See also, the Engineering Science Data Unit Design Guide ESDU 87019, which gives a clear explanation of mechanisms causing tube vibration in shell and tube heat exchangers, and their prediction and prevention. 

A procedure for estimating the shell-side heat transfer in horizontal condensers is given in the Engineering Sciences Data Unit Design Guide, ESDU 84023. 

The heat transfer coefficient at the inside wall and pressure drop through the coil can be estimated using the correlations for flow through pipes see Section 12.8 and Volume 1, Chapters 3 and 9. Correlations for forced convection in coiled pipes are also given in the Engineering Sciences Data Unit Design Guide, ESDU 78031 (2001).

The Engineering Sciences Data Unit has also published a method for estimating shell side the pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient see ESDU Design Guide 83038 (1984). The method is based on a simplification of Tinker s work. It can be used for hand calculations, but as iterative procedures are involved, it is best programmed for use with personal computers.
