Hi there,
I am designing -both process and mechanical designs- a kettle boiler for the purpose of cooling a styrene reactor effluent stream from 610C to 240C by the vaporization of sat water at pressure 15 bar.

1- I'm searching for a go-by to follow but haven't found any but Coulson's example and i'm wondering if it is enough or not for doing a detailed design and whether there are any avalible solved examples to follow?!

2- For the tube side heat transfer coeffiecient and pressure drop calculations should i follow the same procedure as that done in normal shell and tube exchangers or something will change?

3-What is the effect of the presence of u-tube bundle in my design instead of the normal tubes?


If there is any information that you need in order to give a more helpful answer please mention it

Thanks in advance
