How to Calculate Shell Side Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger?
Shell Side Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger calculator uses Shell Side Pressure Drop = (8*Friction Factor*(Length of Tube/Baffle Spacing)*(Shell Diameter/Equivalent Diameter))*(Fluid Density/2)*(Fluid Velocity^2)*((Fluid Viscosity at Bulk Temperature/Fluid Viscosity at Wall Temperature)^-0.14) to calculate the Shell Side Pressure Drop, The Shell Side Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger formula is defined as difference between inlet pressure and the outlet pressure of the fluid that is allocated on Shell side of shell and tube heat exchanger. Shell Side Pressure Drop is denoted by ΔPShell symbol.
How to calculate Shell Side Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shell Side Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger, enter Friction Factor (Jf), Length of Tube (LTube), Baffle Spacing (LBaffle), Shell Diameter (Ds), Equivalent Diameter (De), Fluid Density (ρfluid), Fluid Velocity (Vf), Fluid Viscosity at Bulk Temperature (μfluid) & Fluid Viscosity at Wall Temperature (μWall) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Shell Side Pressure Drop in Heat Exchanger calculation can be explained with given input values -> 69090.12 = (8*0.004*(4.5/0.2)*(0.51/0.016528))*(995/2)*(2.5^2)*((1.005/1.006)^-0.14).
