Pressure Drop Measurements on the Shell Side of a Cylindrical Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger

摘要: Representatkie pressure distributions from an extensive survey of the shell-side field within tube bundle E-type segmented-baffle shell-and-tube heat exchanger are presented. Reynolds numbers based on minimum intertubc flow area were varied range 270-2,200. Strategically placed tubes forming part fitted with tappings and used to measure (1) axial cross-flow drop, symmetric about pass partition lane in central vertical plane bundle, also at edge near bypass lane; (2) drops between adjacent baffle compartments; (3) circumferential selected center periphery bundle. Comparison results those obtained a previous study no reveal effect removal row distribution.
