Approximate Design Estimates for Pure Component Condensers
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of pure component condensers and to present a rapid estimation procedure to design shell and tube heat exchangers for the condensation of purecomponents. Various aspects involved in pure component condensation and twophase flow are discussed. The effect of pressure drop on mean temperature differences and condensation heat transfer coefficient is discussed. Rapid estimation proced~res for design of shell and tube condensers are presented. Finally, a discussion on optimization of condensers is presented.
