Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on simulating a Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger in DWSIM.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn to:
00:11 simulate a Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger,
00:14 calculate the Outlet stream temperatures,
00:17 calculate Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient,
00:20 calculate Heat Exchange Area,
00:23 calculate Thermal Efficiency and LMTD.
00:27 To record this tutorial, I am using DWSIM 4.3 and Windows 7.
00:36 The process demonstrated in this tutorial is identical in other OS also, such as-

Linux, Mac OS X or FOSSEE OS on ARM.

00:48 To practice this tutorial, you should know how to add components to a flowsheet,
00:55 select thermodynamic packages and add material stream and specify their properties.
01:03 The prerequisite tutorials are mentioned on our website.
01:08 You can access these tutorials and all the associated files from this site.
01:14 Here, we will develop a flowsheet to determine: Outlet stream temperatures,
01:19 Overall Heat Transfer coefficient and Heat Exchange area.
01:24 Here, we give Compounds and Inlet stream conditions.
01:29 Here, we give Heat Exchanger properties and Property package.
