Heat Transfer Characteristics of One-and Two-Tube-Pass Split-Flow Heat Exchangers
TLDR
In this article, the heat transfer process in a split-flow heat exchanger designated as G type by TEMA standards is analyzed for two cases: with one tube pass and with two tube passes.Abstract:
The heat transfer process in a split-flow heat exchanger designated as G type by TEMA standards is analyzed for two cases: with one tube pass and with two tube passes. Equations are presented for the shell fluid temperature distribution as a function of exchanger length or surface area. The thermal performance of the two-tube-pass exchanger is compared with those of a 1:1 counterflow exchanger and a one-pass split-flow exchanger. Results are presented in terms of temperature efficiency, reduced thermal flux (NTU), and thermal flow rate ratio.read more
