AI Thread Summary
Shell and tube exchangers differ from plate exchangers primarily in design and application, with shell and tube being more suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature scenarios. Key data needed for selecting a heat exchanger includes flow rates, temperature differences, and fluid properties. Replacing a shell and tube exchanger with a plate exchanger requires consideration of factors such as pressure drop, fluid compatibility, and space constraints. Proper evaluation of these conditions is essential for a successful transition. Understanding these elements will help in making informed decisions regarding heat exchanger selection and replacement.

hello guyz i have some questions about shell and tube exchangers

1- what's the difference between shell and tube exchanger over the plate exchanger ??
2- what's the data required for selecting heat exchanger ??
3- if i will replace the shell and tube with a plate exchanger what's the conditions required for this operation ??

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
