Abstract

This paper presents a single closed form algebraic equation for the determination of the Log Mean Temperature Difference correction factor F for shell and tube heat exchangers having N shell passes and 2M tube passes per shell. The equation and its graphical presentation generalize the traditional equations and charts used for the determination of F. The equation presented is also useful in design, analysis and optimization of multi shell and tube heat exchanger, particularly for direct determination of the number of shells.
