Therefore The Required Heat Transfer Area, A 303.44 m2: in Out in Out

The document provides technical specifications for an existing economizer design including flue gas temperatures, heat transfer area, and flow rates. It then evaluates three modified design options with longer tube lengths, fewer tubes, and larger diameters to increase the heat transfer area and reduce gas and water velocities. Option 3 is recommended as it achieves the required heat transfer area while keeping velocities within acceptable ranges and a lower estimated outlet gas temperature rise.

Flue Gas Temperature @ Eco inlet, TGin = 435 Deg C

Flue Gas Temperature @ Eco outlet TGout = 245 Deg C


Feed water Temperature @ Eco inlet TWin = 105 Deg C
Feed water Temperature @ Eco outlet TWout = 175 Deg C
Flue gas volume flow rate @ 435 Deg C = 27.91 m3/sec
Existing Heat Transfer Area = 212.45 m2

Flue Gas density @ 0 Deg C = 1.2 Kg/m3


Flue Gas density @ 435 Deg C = (1.2 x 273) / (273 + 435)
Flue Gas density @ 435 Deg C = 0.46 Kg/m3

Therefore mass flow rate of flue gas = 46218.96 Kg/hr

Heat transferred in economiser, Q = m x cp x ΔT


= 46218.96 x 0.255 x (435 - 245)
= 2239308.61 Kcal/hr

LMTD = (TGin - TWout) - (TGout - TWin) / ln((TGin - TWout) -


= (435 - 175) - (245 - 105) / ln((435 - 175) - (245 - 105)
= 230.76 Deg C

Heat transferred is also given by, Q = U x A x LMTD


Heat transfer coefficient, U = 45.68 Kcal/hr/m2/DegC

"For Inline pitch Heat transfer coefficient will be 30% less efficient as compared to Stagger pitch"

Heat transfer coefficient, U = 31.98 Kcal/hr/m2/DegC

Heat transferred is also given by, Q = U x A x LMTD


2239308.612 = 31.98 x A x 230.76
Therefore the required heat transfer area, A = 303.44 m2
(435 - 245)

Gout - TWin) / ln((TGin - TWout) - (TGout - TWin)


105) / ln((435 - 175) - (245 - 105)
