4.1 Heat exchangers
3/74
Heat exchangers: General /1

In a heat exchanger heat is
transferred from one (hotter)
material or material flow to
another (cooler) one.
In most applications operated
under steady-state
conditions, for heat exchange
between fluid flows.
External walls are well A shell-and-plate heat exchanger;
insulated to avoid heat losses widely used in power plants, oil
refineries and chemical process plants.

most air cooling systems)

Heat exchangers: General /2

Also batch heat exchangers are
widely used.
Phase transitions are possible,

for example in evaporators or
condensors (and some
applications involving solids).

If energy losses to the environment are avoided, the energy balance for
both the cold and the hot stream are, (noting that no work is done,)
using enthalpy h to include pV-effects (flow work), Q = H
. . . .
Qcold = Hcold = - Hhot = - Qhot
. . . .
Hcold = mcold (hcold,out- hcold,in) = mhot (hhot,in- hhot,out) = - Hhot
Often (modest temperature differences) it can be simplified to

. .
mcold cp,cold(Tcold,out- Tcold,in) = mhot cp,hot (Thot,in- Thot,out)
9/74
Overall heat transfer coefficient

The heat transfer process* may
be described by a simple
expression
.
Q = U AT for temperature
diffence T (C), heat
exchange area A (m2) and
overall heat transfer
coefficient U (W/(m2K)
(sv: vrmegenomgngskoefficient)
U is a combination of several
heat transfer resistances Resistances contributing to the
overall heat transfer coefficient U
* see also Chapter 5 pictures: KJ05
Heat exchanger analysis /1

10/74
The LMTD method
Heat exchanger performance

depends on how much heat
exchange area A (in m2) is
needed to. transfer a certain
heat rate Q (J/s = W)
For a small section dx of the
tube (with diameter
. D), the
heat transfer Q equals
.
Q = U (TH-TC) dA, with
dA = D dx for this geometry and
overall heat transfer coefficient U
(TH-TC) may vary!
picture: KJ05
11/74
The LMTD method

With average temperature difference <T> = <TH -TC> for the heat
exchanger length, the heat rate can be expressed as
.
Q = <U >A<T>
If it can be assumed that U constant, a linearisation may be used, with
T1 = (TH,i-TC,o) at position 1 and T2 = (TH,o-TC,i) at position 2:

The LMTD method

.
exchanger the design
value UA follows from UA = Q / Tlm
However, in process engineering practice most heat
exchangers are NOT of this type, having several shell
passes and tube passes.
For these designs .a correction factor F is applied, using
the heat balance Q = <U > A F Tlm in the analysis
given above
. for a single-pass counter-flow heat exchanger:
U A = Q / (F Tlm )
The F correction factor is found from design
graphs: see for example next slide

Right: Shell-and-tube with two shell passes and any multiple of four tube passes
(four, eight, etc. tube passes).

Calculate Tlm and the F correction
T2
factor.
4.2 Evaporators and condensers
16/74
Condensers
Condensors are used to liquify vapors; the condensation heat
(or latent heat) is absorbed by a coolant (often water)
Usually plate-and-shell condensors are used (plate-and-

frame units may show vapor leakage), with four main types:
1. Horizontal / condensation on the outside of the tubes
2. Vertical / condensation on the outside of the tubes
3. Horizontal / condensation on the inside of the tubes
4. Vertical / condensation on the inside of the tubes
Most used is 1.; for condensing a high pressure or

temperature or corrosive vapor type 4. is used.
(Types 2. and 3. are more typically used in evaporators.)
Also used are contact condensors where coolant and vapor

are mixed and leave the condenser as a single stream.
17/74
Evaporators
Evaporators are used to concentrate a solution of
a non-volatile solute and a volatile solvent (in
most cases the solvent is water).
One application is to produce a slurry of crystals
in a saturated mother liquid.
Another very important application is as reboiler
for partial evaporation of distillation column
bottom liquid
Most common are (low pressure) steam-heated

vertical-tube evaporators, with the boiling liquid
inside the tubes under a moderate vacuum. The
boiling liquid may run upwards or downwards.
To reduce equipment size, often a drum is added

for vapor / liquid separation. pictures: TUD86

Heat exchanger effective performance /1

Picture: http://www.learnthermo.com/T1-tutorial/ch05/lesson-C/pg10.php
Heat exhanger efficiency (2nd Law) analysis shows that the
temperature difference between the flows (or with the flow, for
only on medium flow) should be as small as possible (but too
small T requires much surface A!).
This shows that counter-current heat exchangers perform

much better than co-current heat exchangers.
Heat exchanger effective performance /2
Picture: http://www.learnthermo.com/T1-tutorial/ch05/lesson-C/pg10.php
Ideally, the flows aquire each others temperature: the
exergy losses will then be zero. For this, the heat capacity
rates cp for the hot (H) and cold (C) streams should be
equal: CcpC = HcpH.
This is anyhow a requirement for a high effectiveness of

the heat exchanger, which depends on the ratio (CcpC) /
(HcpH).

Heat exchanger effectiveness /1

The effectiveness of a given heat exchanger can be defined as
(for cold stream C and hot stream H)

with heat capacity rates C C m

Defining the minimum and maximum heat capacity rates Cmin
and Cmax as
Cmin min{m
C c pC , m
H c pH } and Cmax max{m
C c pC , m
H c pH }
and since T is largest for small C = cp (see next slide)

Q max Cmin (TH,in - TC,in )
23/74

The maximum possible temperature change in any of the
fluid flows would be (TH,in TC,in):
picture: T06
24/74

The -NTU method relates the effectiveness to the
number of transfer units NTU of the heat transfer process
and the ratio of the heat capacity rates C*, defined as:
U A Cmin
NTU and C*
Cmin Cmax
A transfer unit ~ distance L of the heat exchanger tubings

where TC(x+L) = TH(x) along axis x.
(Total heat exchange surface A DLNTU for round tubes.)
For an existing heat exchanger the geometry, flows and
specific heats of the flows give the effectiveness.
Relations that give =f(NTU, Cmin, geometry etc.) can be
found in tables, or diagrams can be used; see :

picture: KJO5
Heat exchanger selection
The heat effects of phase transitions (boiling/condensing)
can be quite large and for a pure substance take place at a
constant temperature
The choice for a certain design is based on 3 things:

The value U A; for a given value for the overall heat transfer
coefficient U, the heat exchange area A determines the diameter d,
length L and number n of tubes needed
The pressure drop of the flows through the device (which means
an energy penalty)
The economics of material costs, footprint, heat losses, .....
Note that fouling has an effect not only on U but also on

operation and maintenance costs

When cooled to low enough temperatures, gases condense into liquids.

In the cooling process above, liquid droplets start to form at point C
where a saturated (sv: mttad) vapour exists. Further cooling along
CDE gives a two-phase mixture (droplets in gas) until at point E a
saturated liquid is obtained.

Connecting, for different pressures, the saturation points for the gas (C,
C, C,....) gives the saturated vapour line; similarly the saturation
points for the liquid (E, E, E, ...) gives the saturated liquid line.
These lines come together at the critical point, on what is called the
liquid-vapour dome (sv: kupol)

Often (modest temperature differences) it can be simplified to

For a single-pass counter-flow heat

F correction factors for several heat exchanger types:

Example: LMTD method

Usually plate-and-shell condensors are used (plate-and-

Most used is 1.; for condensing a high pressure or

Also used are contact condensors where coolant and vapor

Most common are (low pressure) steam-heated

To reduce equipment size, often a drum is added

4.3 Heat exchanger efficiency;

Heat exchanger effective performance /1

This shows that counter-current heat exchangers perform

This is anyhow a requirement for a high effectiveness of

comparing the actual heat transfer with the maximum

and since T is largest for small C = cp (see next slide)

The choice for a certain design is based on 3 things:

Note that fouling has an effect not only on U but also on
