Repeat Problem 7.16, except reverse the shell-side and tube-side fluids. Are your results consistent with the heuristics for heat exchangers given in Chapter 11? Which heuristic is relevant?


Problem 7.16

Determine the bare module cost of a 1-shell-pass, 2-tube-pass (1-2) heat exchanger designed for the following operating conditions: 

  • Maximum operating pressure (tube side) = 30 barg
  • Maximum operating pressure (shell side) = 5 barg
  • Process fluid in tubes requires stainless steel MOC
  • Shell-side utility (cooling water) requires carbon steel MOC
  • Heat exchange area = 160 m2
