DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR A DOUBLE-TUBE
HEAT EXCHANGER

Workout Problem-2
0.8 kg/s of a solvent whose properties are indicated below must be cooled down
from 40 to 30°C. A stream of ethylene glycol at 5°C will be used as coolant. The
outlet temperature of ethylene glycol is limited to 25°C.
Design a suitable double pipe heat exchanger for this service.
The pressure drop for both streams must not be higher than 110,000 N/m2. The
combined fouling resistance must be 5 × 10–4 (s · m2 · K)/J. Assume, solvent flows
through the internal tube.

The schedule number on
pipe products relates to
the thickness of the
wall on the pipe: as the
number increases, the
thicker the wall
thickness becomes.

Frictional Pressure Drop
The frictional pressure drop for fluids circulating in the tube side of a
heat exchanger can be considered as the sum of two effects:
The pressure drop along the tubes can be calculated with the Fanning
equation:
where the exponent a is 0.14 for turbulent flow and 0.25 in laminar flow.
21
The friction factor in laminar flow:
For heat exchanger tubes, the friction factor in the turbulent region can
be determined with the following equation owing to Drew, Koo, and
McAdams:
