| Abstract: | A design method has been developed for sizing external heat exchangers for batch processes based on the effectiveness-NTU method. The method is applicable to any heat exchanger configuration and design. Based on the specified process conditions a solution is obtained which directly specifies the required batch circulation rate and the associated heat exchanger effectiveness. This approach is particularly useful for those types of heat exchanger designs which permit explicit sizing. |
