FLUID ALLOCATION
CORROSION Need fewer costly alloy components if the corrosive fluid is inside the tubes
FOULING Placing the fouling liquid in the tubes allows better velocity control;
Increased velocities tend to reduce fouling;
Straight tubes allow mechanical cleaning without removing the tube bundle
TEMPERATURE High temperature requires special or expensive alloy materials;
Fewer alloy components are needed when the hot fluid is placed within the tubes
PRESSURE Placing a high-pressure stream in the tubes will require fewer high-pressure components
PRESSURE DROP For the same pressure drop, higher heat-transfer coefficients are obtained on the tubeside;
A fluid with a low allowable pressure drop should generally be placed inside the tubes
VISCOSITY Higher heat-transfer rates are ordinarily obtained by placing a viscous fluid on the shell side
FLOWRATE The lower flowrate fluid on the shellside results in a more economical design. Turbulence exists on the shellside at much lower velocities than within the tubes.
CONSIDERATIONS BY THE DESIGNER

Because tubes in the 5/8 – 1 –in-O.D. range are normally common for shell-and-tubeexchangers, tubes in these sizes are more readily available in various materials ofconstructions.

TUBE PITCH OR ARRANGEMENT
Tubes are generally arranged on a triangular, square or rotated-square pitchTubes are generally arranged on a triangular, square or rotated-square pitch
Although the tube pitch can vary fir a given tube size, the designer should limitthe center-to-center spacing to the minimum, as outlined in the TEMA Standards, for good mechanical design

SHELL BAFFLING
Baffles are used to direct the shellside fluid through a prescribed path, and to support the tubeswithin the bundle. Baffles are called tube supports, if this is their primary purpose. The threemost common baffle types:
SEGMENTAL BAFFLES
Provides a high degree of turbulance and good heat transfer because it directs the fluid over the tubes primarily in cross-flow;
Unless the shellside fluid is being condensed:
A horizontal baffle cut should be used to reduce accumulations of deposits at the bottom of the shell and to prevent stratification of the shellside fluid;
A vertical baffle cut is required for horizontal condensers to allow the condensate to flow freely without covering or flooding an excessive amount of tubes
Baffle cuts for segmental baffles are expressed as percentage values of the diameter or net free area. A 20%-diameter cut is considered optimum because it permits the highest heat transfer for a given pressure drop
For large HE with high flowrates, it is often more economical to omit tubes in the baffle-window area. This provides for better cross-flow, while providing support for all tubes at every baffle. The ‘no-tubes-in-the-window’ baffle design is often necessary to prevent flow-induced tube vibration.

SHELL BAFFLING (contunied …..)
MULTISEGMENTAL BAFFLES
Characterized by large open areas, this type can be used to reduce baffle spacing or to reduce cross-flow because of pressure-drop limitations
Certain types of baffles allow the fluid to flow nearly parallel to the tubes, offering a much lower pressure drop
LONGITUDINAL BAFFLES
Provides for multipass or split-flow, shellside-flow patterns
It can be welded to the shell, or sealed against it by a flex seal or other device
Sealing of the long baffle against the shell by means other than welding can be done when the pressure drop is relatively low on the shellside (less than 12 psi)

NUMBER OF PASSES ON TUBESIDE AND SHELLSIDE
The number of tubeside or shellside passes provided in the design of an optimum HEdepends in operating temperatures, allowable pressure drops, fluid velocities, relative cost,and the experience of the designer.
One or more passes can be used on the tubeside; multiple passes are used to increase velocity and the heat-transfer rate.
In selecting the number of tubeside passes, must limit the velocity to maintain an allowable pressure drop and to avoid erosion of the tube material
The number of passes on the shellside or the configuration of the shell (one pass, two passes, split flow, divided flow, etc) is primarily a function of the operatingtemperatures, flowrates and allowable pressure drop
The number of passes on the shellside or the configuration of the shell (one pass, two passes, split flow, divided flow, etc) is primarily a function of the operatingtemperatures, flowrates and allowable pressure drop
In as much as the number of shell or tube side passes can affect the value of the correctedlog-mean-temperature difference, the size and cost of the HE are closely related to theselection of the flow configurations
