19,800 kg/hr of kerosene must be cooled from 200 to 93 °C by 67,500 kg/hr crude oil. The crude oil will be heated from 38 to 77 °C. As recommended in Table 6.8 a combined fouling factor of 0.0004 should be provided, and the allowable pressure drop on each stream is 10 psi. The specifications of the heat exchanger and working fluids are below. Is this heat exchanger suitable in terms of pressure drop and fouling factor? Shell Side ID=21.25 in.
