HEATEX - Dynamics of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger

1 HEATEX - Dynamics of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger 

A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is to be investigated for its dynamic and steady-state behaviour. 

The model equations follow from Sec. 4.5.2.2. Here, except for the end sections, the average temperatures of the sections are used to calculate the convection terms. 

For section n, the rate of heat transfer from the tube contents to the metal wall is given by
