I have to design 02 HX for heating methyl chloride and chlorine vapor upto 100C from 50 C. Both inlet and outlets are in vapor form. Heating medium is saturated steam. Should we use LMTD for both the cases ? I doubt coz heating media (steam) temp is same throughout the inlet and outlet.
Normally what pressure steam is used for such purpose? and associated temp ?
Would be helpful if anyone can provide specific heat of vapor for chlorine and methyl chloride.
How to calculate the pressure increase in HX. The inlet pressure is 10 bar in both cases and streams are fed to a reactor.
