A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs seen most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows...

Abstract In this work, heat transfer, wall-to-bed, characteristics from elliptic tubes exchangers, both inline and staggered arrangements, were studied experimentally. Bundles of twenty the same total surface area 0.015 m 2 a length 200 mm are immersed in bed granulated charcoal different grain sizes, 2, 4 6 mm. Air was used as fluidizing fluid. One these which made copper, instrumented, electr...

The Henry constant and the isosteric heat of adsorption at zero loading in a carbon nanotube bundle are studied with Monte Carlo integration for the adsorption of gases over a range of temperatures. The spacing between nanotubes in a bundle is determined from the minimization of potential energy of interaction between these tubes. We study different tube configurations with bundles of 2, 3, 4 a...

The S30408 tube bundle of methanol condensation recovery heat exchanger in a chemical company was found leaked during use. cause leakage analyzed by means macroscopic inspection, composition analysis, metallographic hardness test and fracture analysis. results show that formic acid chloride condensate are formed the exhaust gas shell side near outlet side, which spot corrosion stress cracking t...
