Summary

PER-TUBE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS AND PER-COMPARTMENT AND INTRACOMPARTMENT PRESSURE DROPS WERE MEASURED ON THE SHELL SIDE OF A SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER. THE PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS SHOWED THAT THE FLUID FLOW IS FULLY DEVELOPED DOWN-STREAM OF THE FIRST COMPARTMENT AND THAT THE PER-COMPARTMENT PRESSURE DROP IS CONSTANT IN THE FULLY DEVELOPED REGIME. WITHIN A COMPARTMENT, THE PRESSURE DROP IN THE UPSTREAM HALF IS MUCH LARGER THAN THAT IN THE DOWNSTREAM HALF. THE PER-TUBE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS VARY SUBSTANTIALLY WITHIN A GIVEN COMPARTMENT. THE LOWEST ROW-AVERAGE COEFFICIENTS WERE THOSE FOR THE FIRST AND LAST ROWS IN A COMPARTMENT, WHILE THE HIGHEST COEFFICIENT IS THAT FOR THE ROW JUST UPSTREAM OF THE BAFFLE EDGE.
