A Case Study on Design of Ammonia Condenser: Effect of Independent Variables

Shell and tube heat exchangers are widely used in process industries for exchange of heat from one fluid to another by indirect means. Design of heat exchanger is lengthy and iterative procedure and overall cost of heat exchanger depends upon various independent variables. Here in present study, we have considered ammonia condenser for study purpose. As ammonia is produced widely in urea manufacturing industries. In present study, we have studied effect of various independent variables like tube outside diameter, tube length and baffle spacing on heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop.
