Xylene out of the storage tank at a temperature of 308 K will be heated to a temperature of 343 K. For this purpose, 4500 kg/hour n-Butanol is used which will experience a decrease in temperature from 358 K to 338 K. To exchange heat between the two fluids, it was decided to use 5 (five) double pipe heat exchangers arranged in series each with a length of 6 m. The pipe diameters in the heat exchangers are 78 mm and 53 mm.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
