Lets fist define the term "Heat duty’ to understand what understand what exactly we are calculating, The Heat duty can be defined as the amount of heat needed to transfer from a hot side to the cold side over a unit of time, The calculation is very important to all engineers and its one of the common ones that you need to know in your career if you are a process engineer. The equation to calculate the heat duty is normally written in two ways. ww webbuster.orghhow-to-cleulate-the-heat-duly-for-heat-exchangers! ve 9124721, 252 PM How to calculate the heat duty for heat exchangers Bx Just the thing you wanted (One that can be used for sensible heal transferred, this means that the fluid undergoes no phase change. The other can be used for latent heat transferred. this means that the fluid undergoes a phase change. ie. condenses. Heat Duty (Sensible heat - No phase change) @=M"cp* AT Where: {Q-is the heat duty or the total heat transferred. Btu/hr or W M ~is the Mass ftowr rate for the fluid undergoing the temperature change. tb/hr or kg/s Cp ~is the heat capacity of the fluid undergoing the temperature change. Btu/\b:F or J/kg’K AT ~is the temperature change in fluid normally calculated as the difference between outlet and inlet temperatures. F ore bx | have put two different measurement units for each of the variables above, the fist being in English / US Units and the ‘second is in SI Units. There is many other variations but the above are common and | use all the lime. The most important thing is to make sure your units of measurement is correct and consistent with the calculations. Heat Duty (Latent heat - Phase change) QM. Where: Q- is the heat duty or the total heat transferred. Btu/hr or KW M ~ is the Mass flow rate for the fluid undergoing the temperature change. \b/hr or kg/s 1. Is the latent heat. Blu/lb or ku/kg ww webbuster.orghhow-to-cleulate-the-heat-duly-for-heat-exchangers! 9124721, 252 PM How to calculate the heat duty for heat exchangers For the hot side this s the Latent heat of Condensation of the vapor that is changing phase, For the cold side this is the Latent heat of Vaporization of the liquid that is changing phase The equation can also be written in t ms of the enthalpy change by replacing the 2. with (He ~ Ha) referring to the change in enthalpies of the fluid undergoing temperature change and this is also expressed in Btu/lb of k/4g, Heat Duty for Multiphase streams If you have a stream where more than one phase exists then you can calculate the heat duty using the equation below: 0+09+a0+aw Where: Qs the overall heat duty or total heat transferred, Btu/hr or kW {Qg ~ is the gas heat duty or heat transfer rate. Btu/hr or KW Dx Qo ~ is the cil heat duty or heat transfer rate, Btu/hr oF kW ‘Qw ~ is the water heat duty or heat transfer rate, Btu/hr or KW Here is a free heat duty calculator that | built - you can read more about it from the webbusterz engineering software using the link betow: Heat Duty Calculator - Sensible and Latent heat Download this calculator - windows version Ifyou have a smart phone with android operating system you can get this calculator from Google apps by visiting ths link Next Post > Compressors a general guideline Osat Oct 26, 2013 Compressors a general guideline This short article discusses some general guidelines for industrial compressors.
