ESDU 94042 1994-DEC-01 Selecton and costng of heat exchangers Shell-and-tube type
ESDU 94042 extends the information in ESDU 92013 which, when a shell-and-tube exchanger is found appropriate and is costed, provides the results for a datum design with fixed average values of fluid pressure, tube diameter, shell length-to-diameter ratio, baffle pitch and for a particular shell type, and shell and tube materials. It provides factors derived from an analysis of manufacturer's data to be applied to the cost results for the datum design of ESDU 92013 to account for variations in those parameters and features. Additional guidance on the configuration and use of shell-and-tube exchangers is given. The performance of the exchangers is calculated using the effectiveness-NTU method and graphs of those data are included for E-shells in series.
