29
Process Conditions
(Definitions)
– Hot / cold flow rates
– Hot / cold temperature, inlet / outlet
– Weight fraction vapor for two phase (required for isothermal
cases)

30

30
Process Specification Rules
(General)
– If exchanger duty not specified, fluid duties need not match
⚫ Warning if mismatch more than 10%
⚫ Over design based on average
– Flow rate respected
⚫ Warning if mismatch more than 10%
– Specified temperatures always respected
– Exchanger duty always respected for over design
calculations

31

31
Process Specification Rules
(Two-Phase)
– Specified temperatures always respected ; weight
fraction vapor calculated
– If temperature not specified, weight fraction vapor
respected; temperature calculated

32

32
Process Specification Rules
(Rules of thumb)
– For ratings, specify duty (if known)
– Avoid specifying duty mismatch
⚫ For Xist shells-in-series, duty mismatch results in inaccurate
EMTD in the last shell
– Do not specify temperature if vapor fraction must be
used
– Ensure process conditions are realistic

Stream analysis

43

43
Shell side flow streams
⚫ A Stream
– Between tube OD and baffle hole
– Thermally ineffective
– Can be large for narrow baffle spacing
– Decreases with multi-segmental baffles
– Can plug with fouling deposits (check DP when A
stream is plugged)

44

44
Shell side flow streams
⚫ C Stream
– Between bundle and shell
– Typically should not exceed 20%
– Block by adding sealing strips or rods
– Partially effective for heat transfer (in contact
with heat transfer surface)

45

45
Shell side flow streams
⚫ F Stream
– Through pass lane clearance in bundle
– Typically should not exceed 20%
– Block by adding sealing strip or rods
– More effective for heat transfer than C stream,
less effective then A stream

46

46
Shell side flow streams
⚫ E Stream
– Between baffle and shell
– Ineffective (bypasses bundle)
– Can cause significant DTm correction
– Often caused by too small baffle cut and/or
spacing
– Must be sure that baffle-to-shell clearance not
more than TEMA recommendation

47

47
Temperature Profile Distortion

48

48
HTRI Delta Factor
(Xist Methods)
⚫ Temperature profile distortion due to
ineffective mixing of bypass stream
– E-Stream
– Portion of C Stream
⚫ d = 1 for effective mixing
⚫ 0.6 < d < 1.0 for ineffective mixing
– Empirical basis
– Mixing depends on baffle shell clearance,
number of baffles, bypass stream Reynolds
numbers

49

49
HTRI Delta Factor
(Xist Methods)
⚫ Explicit D method
– Exchanger rated assuming no distortion
– D calculated for each increment
