Shell and Tube Exchangers
• Tube-sheet layout (tube count)
• The bundle diameter will depend not only on thenumber of tubes but also on the number of tubepasses, as spaces must be left in the pattern of tubeson the tube sheet to accommodate the passpartition plates

Shell and tube exchangers
• Shell types (passes)
• The principal shell arrangements are shown inFigure 12.12a-e.
• The letters E, F, G, H, J are those used in theTEMA standards to designate the varioustypes
• The E shell is the most commonly usedarrangement

Shell and tube exchangers
• Two shell passes (F shell) are occasionally usedwhere the shell and tube side temperaturedifferences will be unsuitable for a single pass
• The divided flow and split-flow arrangements(G and J shells) are used to reduce the shell-side pressure drop; where pressure drop,rather than heat transfer, is the controllingfactor in the design

Shell and tube exchangers• Shell and tube designation:
• A common method of describing an exchangeris to designate the number of shell and tubepasses: m/n
• Where, m is the number of shell passes and nthe number of tube passes
• Example 1: 1/2 describes an exchanger with 1shell pass and 2 tube passes
• Example 2: 2/4 an exchanger with 2 shellpasses and 4 four tube passes
12/2/2014 10
Shell and tube exchangers• Baffles:
• Baffles are used in the shell– to direct the fluid stream across the tubes
– to increase the fluid velocity
– and so improve the rate of transfer
• The most commonly used type of baffle is thesingle segmental baffle shown in Figure12.13a, other types are shown in Figures12.13b, c and d.
• Only the design of exchangers using singlesegmental baffles will be considered

Mean temperature difference• In order to determine the heat transfer area
required for a given duty, the meantemperature difference must be calculated.
• That is, the difference in the fluidtemperatures at the inlet and outlet of theexchanger
• logarithmic mean temperature difference Tlmis only applicable to sensible heat transfer intrue co-current or counter-current flow (lineartemperature enthalpy curves)

12/2/2014 14
Mean temperature difference• For counter-current flow, Fig 12.18a, the logarithmic
mean temperature is given by
• The equation is the same for co-current flow, but theterminal temperature differences will be (T1 - t1) and(T2 - t2).

Mean temperature difference• The usual practice in the design of shell and
tube exchangers is to estimate the truetemperature difference from the logarithmicmean temperature by applying a correctionfactor to allow for the departure from truecounter-current flow

Mean temperature difference• The correction factor is a function of the shell and
tube fluid temperatures, and the number of tube andshell passes
• It is normally correlated as a function of twodimensionless temperature ratios
• R is equal to the shell-side temperature differencedivided by the tube-side temperature difference
• S is a measure of the temperature efficiency of theexchanger

factor is given by
• The equation for a 1 shell : 2 tube pass exchanger can beused for any exchanger with an even number of tubepasses, and is plotted in Figure 12.19
• The correction factor for 2 shell passes and 4, ormultiples of 4, tube passes is shown in Figure 12.20, andfor divided and split, flow shells in Figures 12.21 and12.22

Shell and Tube Exchangers
• Fluid allocation: shell or tubes
• Where no phase change occurs, the followingfactors will determine the allocation of thefluid streams to the shell or tubes
• Corrosion:
– The more corrosive fluid should be allocated tothe tube-side. This will reduce the cost ofexpensive alloy or clad components.
12/2/2014 24

General Design Considerations
• Fouling: The fluid that has the greatesttendency to foul the heat-transfer surfacesshould be placed in the tubes.
• This will give better control over the designfluid velocity, and the higher allowablevelocity in the tubes will reduce fouling. Also,the tubes will be easier to clean
12/2/2014 25
General Design Considerations
• Operating pressures:
– The higher pressure stream should be allocated tothe tube-side
– High-pressure tubes will be cheaper than a high-pressure shell
• Pressure drop:
– For the same pressure drop, higher heat-transfercoefficients will be obtained on the tube-side thanthe shell-side
– Fluid with the lowest allowable pressure drop should be allocated to the tube-side
12/2/2014 26
12/2/2014
13
General Design Considerations
• Viscosity:
– Generally, a higher heat-transfer coefficient will beobtained by allocating the more viscous materialto the shell-side, providing the flow is turbulent
• If turbulent flow cannot be achieved in theshell it is better to place the fluid in the tubes,as the tube-side heat-transfer coefficient canbe predicted with more certainty
27
General Design Considerations
• Stream flow-rates: Allocating the fluids withthe lowest flow-rate to the shell-side willnormally give the most economical design
12/2/2014 28
12/2/2014
14
Shell and tube fluid velocities• High velocities will give high heat-transfer
coefficients but also a high-pressure drop
• The velocity must be high enough to preventany suspended solids settling, but not so highas to cause erosion
• High velocities will reduce fouling
• Liquids: Tube-side, process fluids: 1 to 2 m/s,maximum 4 m/s if required to reduce fouling;water: 1.5 to 2.5 m/s.
12/2/2014 29
Shell and tube fluid velocities
• Shell-side: 0.3 to 1 m/s.
• Vapors: the velocity used will depend on theoperating pressure and fluid density
12/2/2014 30
12/2/2014
15
Fluid physical properties• The fluid physical properties required for heat-exchanger
design are:
• density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and temperature-enthalpy correlations (specific and latent heats)
• The thermal conductivities of commonly used tubematerials are given in Table 12.6
• In the correlations used to predict heat-transfercoefficients, the physical properties are usually evaluatedat the mean stream temperature
• This is satisfactory when the temperature change issmall, but can cause a significant error when the changein temperature is large

Tube-side pressure drop
• There are two major sources of pressure losson the tube-side of a shell and tubeexchanger:
– the friction loss in the tubes
– the losses due to the sudden contraction andexpansion and flow reversals that the fluidexperiences in flow through the tube arrangement
12/2/2014 45
Tube-side pressure drop• The tube friction loss can be calculated using the familiar
equations for pressure-drop loss in pipes
• The basic equation for isothermal flow in pipes (constanttemperature) is
• Where, jf is the dimensionless friction factor and L’ is theeffective pipe length.
• The flow in a heat exchanger will clearly not beisothermal, and this is allowed for by including anempirical correction factor to account for the change inphysical properties with temperature
• Normally only the change in viscosity is considered12/2/2014 46

• The pressure losses due to contraction at the tubeinlets, expansion at the exits, and flow reversal in theheaders, can be a significant part of the total tube-sidepressure drop
• The loss in terms of velocity heads can be estimated bycounting the number of flow contractions, expansionsand reversals, and using the factors for pipe fittings toestimate the number of velocity heads lost
12/2/2014
21
Tube-side pressure drop• For two tube passes
– there will be two contractions, two expansionsand one flow reversal
• The head loss for each of these effects is: contraction0.5, expansion 1.0, 180o bend 1.5
• Hence, for two passes the maximum loss will be
• 2 × 0.5 + 2 × 1.0 + 1.5 = 4.5 velocity heads
= 2.25 per pass
• Frank’s recommended value of 2.5 velocity heads perpass is the most realistic value to use
12/2/2014 49
Tube-side pressure drop• Pressure drop equation becomes
• Another source of pressure drop will be the flow expansionand contraction at the exchanger inlet and outlet nozzles.
• This can be estimated by adding one velocity head for theinlet and 0.5 for the outlet, based on the nozzle velocities

Shell side heat transfer and pressure drop: single phase
• Flow pattern:
• The flow pattern in the shell of a segmentally baffledheat exchanger is complex
• This makes the prediction of the shell-side heat-transfercoefficient and pressure drop very much more difficultthan for the tube-side
• Though the baffles are installed to direct the flow acrossthe tubes, the actual flow of the main stream of fluid willbe a mixture of cross flow between the baffles, coupledwith axial (parallel) flow in the baffle windows; as shownin Figure 12.25.

23
Flow pattern• Not all the fluid flow follows the path shown
in Figure 12.25
• Some will leak through gaps formed by theclearances that have to be allowed forfabrication and assembly of the exchanger
• These leakage and bypass streams are shownin Figure 12.26, which is based on the flowmodel proposed by Tinker (1951, 1958).

24
Flow pattern• In Figure 12.26, Tinker’s nomenclature is used to
identify the various streams, as follows
• Stream A is the tube-to-baffle leakage stream. Thefluid flowing through the clearance between thetube outside diameter and the tube hole in the baffle
• Stream B is the actual cross-flow stream
• Stream C is the bundle-to-shell bypass stream Thefluid flowing in the clearance area between the outertubes in the bundle (bundle diameter) and the shell
• Stream E is the baffle-to-shell leakage stream. Thefluid flowing through the clearance between theedge of a baffle and the shell wall
12/2/2014 55
Kern’s method• The shell area is calculated using the flow area between the
tubes taken in the axial direction (parallel to the tubes) andthe wetted perimeter of the tubes; see Figure 12.28
• Shell-side jh and jf factors for use in this method are given inFigures 12.29 and 12.30, for various baffle cuts and tubearrangements. These figures are based on data given by Kern(1950) and by Ludwig (2001)
