Heat Transfer
For turbulent flow in a tube, the heat transfer co-efficient is obtained from the Dittus-Boelter correlation. If the tube diameter is halved and the flow rate is doubled, then the heat transfer co-efficient will change by a factor of
Gases under high pressure are routed through the tube side, because high pressure gases are corrosive in nature
Gases to be heated/cooled is normally routed through the shell side, because the corrosion caused by the cooling water or steam condensate remain localised to the tubes
Presence of a non-condensible gas decreases the condensing film co-efficient
