BG1-16 Shellside Longitudinal Liquid-phase and Flow Boiling Heat Transfer for Horizontal Plain Tube Bundles
August 01, 2017
This report discusses liquid-phase and flow boiling data collected on the shell side of a horizontal, nonbaffled plain tube bundle. Using these and other HTRI data, we evaluated heat transfer predictions from HTRI Xchanger Suite 7.3 and modified our methods. Fluid temperature measurements around the bundle demonstrate thermal stratification of liquid...

BT-42 Improved heat transfer methods for tubeside falling film evaporators
November 17, 2020
HTRI collected falling film evaporation data for two pure components and three mixtures in a vertical tube. Current falling film methods in Xist® 8.2 underpredict most of the measured heat transfer coefficients. Based on the latest data, we have improved our heat transfer methods, including a vapor-shear enhancement factor, a new mixture correction factor...
