Category: Heat Transfer Technology
Question: Is there a quick rule-of-thumb to estimate a gas side heat transfer rate inside the tubes of a shell and tube heat exchanger?
Keywords: gas,side,heat,transfer,coefficient,rate,shell,tube,exchangers,
Answer: If you need to estimate a gas heat transfer rate or see if a program is getting a reasonable gas rate, use the following:h = 75 X Sq. Root(Op. pressure/100)The operating pressure is expressed as absolute. This is for inside the tubes. The rate will be lower for the shell side or if there is more than one exchanger.
