Question
Steam is produced on the shell-side of a horizontal tube kettle-type reboiler operating at 104.01 psi(abs)
The exchanger contains 100 tubes 10 ft long
Given the following:
Do = 0.75,in
Boiling temperature = 325 F
Heat of Vaporization = 892.5 btu/lb
Sat'd liquid density = 55.88 #/ft3
Sat'd liquid surface tension = 0.00305 #f/ft
What is the saturated vapor density, #/ft3?
What is the maximum heat flux (for a single tube), btu/hr-ft2?
What is the maximum heat duty for the reboiler, btu/hr?
