PED (Design of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger) 63

This document summarizes the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger with counter flow. It details the flow rates and temperatures of the methanol and water on both sides of the exchanger. Key specifications of the exchanger include an overall heat transfer coefficient of 1000 W/m^2 C, a total heat transfer area of 45.39 m^2, and 149 tubes made of cupro-nickel with an outer diameter of 20 mm and inner diameter of 16 mm. Pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients are also calculated for both the tube and shell sides.
