Design of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

The document summarizes the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger. It provides specifications for the hot and cold fluids, which are an ethylene stream and water. It calculates the heat transfer area as 13 square meters based on a heat duty of 158536.78 kW. The design includes 23 tubes of 0.0190 meters outer diameter and 4.5 meters length in a shell of 0.3874 meters diameter with 0.00635 meters tube clearance. Pressure drops of 13 psi and 18 psi are calculated for the shell and tube sides, respectively.
