Can anyone mention any reference or tell me how to calculate dimensions (mechanical design) for a u tube bundle in a heat exchanger and gas sparger/divider(a perforated pipe)
For example, in u tube bundle the number of tubes, distance from heat exchanger wall etc.(tube thickness and tube diameter are selected). The problem I found here is that each tube's length is different. Not the same. So how to calculate the dimensions of them?
and in gas sparger/divider (a perforated pipe) the diameter of pipe, hole diameter, number of holes, distance between holes etc.
I looked for these in many design books. But couldn't find anything satisfactory?
