If Rd equals or exceed the required dirt factor, proceed under the pressure drop. Hot fluid: Shell side 1. For Re s in step 6 obtain f, ft 2 /in 2 (from Figure 29 ) 2. Number of crosses, N+1=12L/B 3. ΔP s = fg s 2 D s (N+1) 5.22*10 10 D e Sϕ s, psi (S is from Figure 6)

Example Calculation of a erosene-crude oil Exchanger 43,000lb/hr of a 42 0 API erosene leaves the bottom of a distilling column at 390 0 F and will be cooled to 200 0 F by 149,000 lb.hr of 34 0 API. Mid-continent crude coming from storage at 100 0 F and heated to 170 0 F. A 10psi pressure drop is permissible on both streams, and in accordance with Table 12, a combined dirt factor of 0.003 should be provided. Available for this service is a 21 ¼ in. ID exchanger having 158 1 in. OD, 13 BWG tubes 16`0`` long and laid out on 1 ¼ in. square pitch. The bundle is arranged for four passes, and baffles are spaced 5in. Apart. Will the exchanger be suitable. i.e. what is the dirt factor?
Given: Shell and tube exchanger: Solution Shell side ID= 21 ¼ Baffle space=5in. Passes=1 Tube side Number and length= 158, 16`0`` OD, BWG, pitch= 1in, 13 BWG, 1 ¼ in square Passes=4
