Type of article: Article

Summary

AVOIDING FLOW-INDUCED VIBRATION DAMAGE IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO THE DESIGNERS AND OPERATORS OF SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS. THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF TUBE VIBRATION AS DETERMINED FROM A RESEARCH PROGRAM FEATURING TESTS OF AN INDUSTRIAL-SIZE EXCHANGER. THE STATE OF THE ART IN UNDERSTANDING AND PREDICTING TUBE VIBRATION AND SHELL-SIDE FLOW DISTRIBUTION IS BRIEFLY REVIEWED. FINALLY, RESEARCH NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED AND DISCUSSED.
