Tubular Heat Exchanger Rating Sheet: Start 2 o 2 o

The document provides details of the calculations and design parameters for sizing a low pressure feedwater heater. It lists the input flow rates and conditions for the tube side and shell side streams. It then outlines the steps taken to select tube dimensions and arrangement, calculate heat transfer rates, and estimate pressure drops and velocities to design the heat exchanger.

Step 6. Check tubeside velocity and P, shellside P. If too high or too low, adjust tube length, number of tubes per pass, number of passes, and/or shell baffle spacing. Remember to reset shell diameter from tube count tables, as required.
