Abstract

Thermal analysis for the divided-flow heat exchanger with an arbitrary number N of tubeside passes is made and corresponding temperature equations are derived. By means of these equations thermal effectiveness, mean temperature difference correction factor and the temperature at a given location on the exchanger surface are calculated. Also, the optimum entrance location of the shellside flow and the influence of the division of the shellside flow upon the pressure loss are discussed.
