hi all!!
i have a shell and tube heat exchanger with a surface of 479 ft2 to treat 70000 barrel of crude oil / day
i mad a calculation to find the surface nedded to treat 20000 barrel /day
i found the suface =139 ft2
how will the new surface will effect on the exchager, what kind of problem can be appear in this case???
ans what we can propose as solution???
2/ if the speed of the crude inside tubes gets lower , would that make problems too???
