Abstract

The full Delaware method for shell-side heat transfer and pressure drop calculations is presented in this chapter. Ideal tube bank correlations for heat-transfer coefficients and friction factors are presented and corrections for the effects of leakage and bypass flows on heat transfer and pressure drop are discussed. Methods are given for computing correction factors and the leakage and bypass flow areas on which they are based. Methods for estimating shell-side clearances that give rise to leakage flows are presented. The entire procedure is illustrated through an example that is worked in detail. The results are compared with those obtained previously using HEXTRAN and the Simplified Delaware method.
