Velocity heat exchanger maximum

Figure 1. Maximum velocity for gases and vapors through heat exchangers on sheli-side.

Maximum Recommended Velocities Through Nozzle Connections, Piping, etc. Associated With Sheil and/or Tube Sides of Heat Exchanger... 

Figure 26.3 shows the relationship between port diameter and fluid velocity at 4 and 7 m/s and highlights the nominal maximum velocities for various plates. As the flow through the machine increases, the entry and exit pressure losses also increase. The nominal maximum flow rate for a plate heat exchanger limits these losses to an acceptable proportion of the total pressure losses, and is therefore a function not only of the port diameter but... 

Under the condition of inlet velocity as the unique factor, the air-content is 10%, the flow pattern of the two phase flow shape from a fine-bubble to a gas-slug pattern. The output temperature of the tunnel increases with the increase of the inlet velocity, and reaches the maximum value. After the peak value, the temperature drops steeply between inlet velocity of 50-100 m/s. The simulated results demonstrate that the inlet velocity ranging from 20 m/s to 50 m/s has better heat exchange effect than the inlet velocity ranging from 50 m/s to 100 m/s and the 100 m/s inlet velocity has the optimal heat exchange effect. 

For shdl and tube heat exchange Numerous related topics including evaporation Section 4.1, distillation. Section 4.2, crystallization Section 4.6, freeze concentration Section 4.3, melt crystallization. Section 4.4, PFTR reactors Sections 6.5-6.12. Approach temperature 5 to 8°C use 0.4 THTU/pass design so that the total pressure drop on the liquid side is about 70 kPa. Allow 4 velocity heads pressure drop for each pass in a multipass system. Put inside the tubes the more corrosive, higher pressure, dirtier, hotter and more viscous fluids. Recommended liquid velocities 1 to 1.5 m/s with maximum velocity increasing as more exotic alloys used. Use triangular pitch for all fixed tube sheet and for steam condensing on the shell side. Try U = 0.5 kW/m °C for water/liquid U = 0.3 kW/m °C for hydrocarbon/hydrocarbon U = 0.03 kW/m °C for gas/ liquid and 0.03 kW/m °C for gas/gas.
