Abstract

In previous studies, calculation of overall heat transfer coefficients in a triple tube heat exchanger (TTHE) involved assumptions or approaches those are not valid in all cases. In this study a more generic way of calculating overall heat transfer coefficients in a TTHE has been developed. Consequently, temperature profiles of all streams in a TTHE in the axial direction were determined. An effective overall heat transfer coefficient that is related to the total resistance to heat transfer in the TTHE, was also determined to facilitate comparison of a TTHE to an equivalent double tube heat exchanger.
