Designing Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

So,
Hot
 t1 = 85 F
 t2 = 100 0F
 T1 = 200 0F
 T2 = 115 0F
Calculate LMTD:

( T 1−t 2 )−( T 2−t 1 )

LMTD=
T 1−t 2
ln ( T 2−t 1 )
( 100 ) −( 30 )
LMTD=

LMTD=58.31 F
To calculate;

From Fig. 18 (DQ Kern)

F t=0.96

∆ t=LMTD × F t

∆ t=55.97 F
From table 8 (D.Q Kern)
Assume UD = 70 Btu/hr.ft2.F
Q = UD A ∆t
So,

From fig. 17 D.Q. Kern
Kc = 0.35
Fc = 0.4
So now,
Tc = T2 + FC (T1 - T2)
Tc = 115 + 0.4 (200-115)
Tc = 149 F
tc = t1 + FC (t2 – t1)
tc = 85 + 0.4 (100-85)
tc = 91 0F
