Summary

This paper presents a simple but accurate method to calculate shell side heat transfer coefficient in a single segmental shell and tube heat exchanger. The method is based on a chart, which is a product of actual data taken over a span of several years. The calculation procedure is presented with a case study. The results are compared with known methods and commercial/proprietary computer codes prevalent in the industry. The results from this method compare well with HTRI computer programme. This method can prove to be a helpful tool for design engineers in the field.
