24.
A process stream of dilute aqueous solution flowing at the rate of10 Kg.s-1 is to be heated. Steam condensate at 95°C is available for heating purpose, also at a rate of 10 Kg.s-1. A 1 - 1 shell and tube heat exchanger is available. The best arrangement is
counter flow with process stream on shell side.
counter flow with process stream on tube side.
parallel flow with process stream on shell side.
parallel flow with process stream on tube side.
Answer: Option

Steam condensate should be used in tube side, because using it on shell side will result in more heat loss to the surrounding. Hence process stream on shell side.

@Adrash.

In question there is steam condensate not steam.

Thank you.

Steam is always used in shell side.

According to TEMA standards cold fluid is flowing through the shell side and hot fluid through tube side.
