Double pipe heat exchanger design guide

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design of double pipe heat exchangers, emphasizing the need for comprehensive knowledge in heat transfer and mechanical design. The participant seeks detailed resources beyond basic guides, acknowledging the complexity of parameters involved in practical design software. Key considerations include heat transfer correlations, pressure drop calculations, and configurations for hairpin sections. Established software packages are recommended for effective design due to the extensive variables involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of heat transfer principles

hi friends, I am going to program a double pipe heat exchanger designer software and I need to every detail on heat transfer and mechanical design considerations.
I've read some on double pipe heat exchanger on net like this http://scopewe.com/double-pipe-heat-exchanger-design-part-1/ guide but i need a complete source if exists, I would appreciate if you could introduce some sources to me.
thanks in advance.

I'm sorry you are not finding help at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us?
 
I will suggest, with no disrespect intended, that the parameters and variable of practical design software are far to numerous for an individual undertaking. This would include all heat transfer and pressure drop coorelation applicable to shell-and-tube plus an additional array tube/fin geometries not usually associated with S&T. Beyond that the configuration of hairpin section (and the individual shell passes, legs?) among series and parallel piping and effective MTD is another complete overlay. The established major software packages or supportive suppliers limit the practicality of the effort you suggest.

For single phase fluids and isothermal phase change with a finned pipe-in-pipe, open literature and manual (or spreadsheet) calcs will offer you practical assistance.
