Hello sir,

 

I'm trying to find the annualized capital cost of heat exchangers for my research project. I have come up with 

 

this formula I extracted from my supervisor's thesis (as she had granted permission) ,

 

C_HE = I/I_b*(F_PF_mF_LC_B)*AF; where I and I_bare the chemical engineering plant cost index in the

 

present time and base cost index from an earlier time; F_P, F_M and F_L are the shell-side pressure

 

factor,  shell and tube material of construction factor and the tube length factor, respectively which

 

are the cost parameters; C_B is the base cost of the heat exchanger and AF is the annuity factor. I showed my 

 

supervisor this formula and she told me to find another suitable formula/method to calculate the annualized

 

capital cost for heat exchangers. It will be helpful to recommend a few. Thanks and good day, sir.

Hi ,

Take a look at this document , it may help you .

 

Let you find this book : Plant design and economics for chemical engineers by S.Peters and D.Timmerhaus.

 

Good luck.

The above pdf file is an older version (1st edition) of a chapter from the book:

which is the more recent 3rd edition, but in this google example several pages are missing.

 

Another book from the same author contains similar data:
