Appendix Problem Defined Objective and Specification Design Heat Exchanger Results Summary Conclusion
Problem Defined Chemical temperature must be cooled by at least 20 degrees Celsius Mass flow rate is 220,000 kg/hr. Material properties must be defined as water. City Water Temperature must be 20 C. Length of the heat exchanger can not exceed 7 meters. Minimize pressure drop, shell and tube weight. Shell Diameter should not exceed 2 meters.
Objective Calculate the heat transfer ratio between 0.95 and 1. Minimize the weight of the Heat Exchanger. Minimize the pressure drop for the shell and tube side.
Design Heat Exchanger First use notes and your experience to eliminate the variables. Use matlab and Minitab to run the DOE on the variable to see their effect. Find the final 4 or 5 variables that effect the heat exchanger design.
