Dear all,

 

For some time, I have been Sizing all the process equipments used in GDU.

 

I have sized separators,contactor and Columns.

 

But now I am onto Heat Exchangers.

 

Especially Double pipe heat exchanger.

 

If somebody can recommend me some very good books or articles on Double pipe Heat Exchanger, I would be very thankful.

Just about any book with the title "Process Heat Transfer" will have a chapter on double pipe heat exchangers.

Shivshankar,

 

Thank You for the links,sir.

 

They were good but I need to Size the Double pipe Heat exchanger and make the datasheet.......

 

Geometry....tube bundle.....shell.......I need info or books on these issues..

 

If you can help me,I would be grateful.

 

Thanks again sir.

Anshul:

 

SRfish already answered your request.  Simply obtain a copy of Donald Q. Kern's classic book, "Process Heat Transfer", issued in 1950 by the McGraw-Hill publishing company.  You can find this book at your technical library or buy it from the Intenet.   Try Amazon books and other sites.

 

You have a lot of reading and learning on Process Heat Transfer ahead of you.

If you do so much of these, perhaps it would be good to have software like hysys and HTRI in your arsenal too.

anshul,

 

Check out this link for an excel spreadsheet for double-pipe heat exchanger:

Ankur:

 

That is an excellent lead you have given Anshul - and all other young students and recent grads.  You are to be commended for such a great recommendation.  I had forgotten about Samir Khan and the great work he has done with engineering calculations on his website.

 

Samir has a host of free, downloadable calculations on workooks and every serious young engineer should not only download these valuable tools, they should run each workbook as exercises in gaining access to future, important tools to use in solving design problems.

Art,

 

You are right; I should be reading and learning a lot from D.Q. Kern.  And after reading it, I will be concentrating on the great work of Mr Samir Khan.

 

Thank You sir for the recommendation.

 

Ankur,

 

Thank you for the spreadsheet,sir.

 

 

Thorium90,

 

Thank you for the recommendation sir but I already have HTRI... It seems I will be rating my exchanger after revising my basics.

 

Thank you all......I believe I would be asking some questions from you all after reading and understanding(again) my basics of Heat Exchanger.

 

And it is very good that you all are nurturing young process engineers like myself so that we can become better process engineers.

Helping .......me in reviewing my Xchanger

 

Dear all,

 

I may have initially told this forum that I was studying and designing "Double pipe heat xchanger"

 

But now due to some circumstances(in my company) I have studied and sized Air cooler.....

 

I am not an expert in Heat xchanger sizing...

 

And that is why I am uploading a Air cooler Xchanger case file in HTRI(Xace)...

 

And another question I would like to ask is:

 

"If we can pick Ethylene Glycol in place of TEG in HTRI Component Library"

 

Because in this case my fluid is Lean TEGlycol.............

 

If any one is having the problem regarding the "Non-availability of HTRI".........please tell so that I can send respective person the case report(in .pdf format)

 

Thank you all for listening and helping me......
