1.5 MEAN TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
1.5.2 F and θ charts for shell-and-tube exchangers

In this Section are presented sets of equations and graphs for simple heat exchanger configurations and for a set of shell-and-tube exchangers defined using the nomenclature of the TEMA Handbook. Descriptive material, comments on proper usage and limiting points are also included with each specific configuration. The topics covered are:

A. Counter Flow Figure 1
B. Co-current Flow Figure 2
C. TEMA E shell-and-tube
flow arrangements
E-shell, 1-2N Figure 3
E-shell, 2 in series Figure 4
E-shell, 3 in series Figure 5
E-shell, 4 in series Figure 6
E-shell, 5 in series Figure 7
E-shell, 6 in series Figure 8
D. E-shell, 3 tube passes Figure 9
E. J-shell, one tube pass Figure 10
2N tube passes Figure 11
F. G-shell, 2N tube passes Figure 12
G. F-shell, partition thermal leakage Figure 13


The reader should refer to Section 105 for a description of the terms involved.
