I need help with a clear discussion for this question
A chemical engineer is to design a shell and tube heat exchanger in a restricted area in a room of a length of 1.75m.4kgsec of water at an average velocity of 0.375msec is to be heated in the tube side from 45C to 60C using 1.875cm(inside diameter) tubes. The overall heat transfer coefficient (based on inside tube area) is 1390Wm2C. The fluid used for heating (shell side) is water (entering temperature of 90C) with a mass flow rate of 2.0kgsec.
Starting with a single shell pass heat exchanger: find the number of tube passes, the number tubes per pass, and tube length. (using the LMTD method).
I have solved the question:
the number of tubes =81
the number of passes =2
Tube length =141.53 m
I just need to write a clear discussion or conclusion for these answers
