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. |
01:34 | Here, we give Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger properties. |
01:39 | I have already opened DWSIM on my machine. |
01:44 | Go to File menu and select New Steady-state Simulation. |
01:50 | Simulation Configuration Wizard window appears. |
01:54 | At the bottom, click on Next. |
01:57 | Now, in the Compounds Search tab, type Methanol. |
02:03 | Select Methanol from ChemSep database. |
02:07 | Similarly, add Water. |
02:11 | At the bottom, click on Next. |
02:14 | Now comes Property Packages. |
02:18 | From the Available Property Packages, double-click on Raoult’s Law. |
02:24 | Then click on Next button. |
02:28 | We are moved to a new window named Flash Algorithm. |
02:33 | From Default Flash Algorithm, select Nested Loops(VLE). |
02:39 | Click on Next button. |
02:42 | Next option is System of Units. |
02:46 | Under System of Units, select C5. |
02:51 | At the bottom, click on Finish button. |
02:55 | Let us maximize the simulation window for better visibility. |
03:00 | Now, let’s insert two material streams that enter the Heat Exchanger. |
03:06 | On the right hand side of the main simulation window, go to Flowsheet Objects. |
03:12 | In the Filter List tab, type Material Stream. |
03:17 | From the displayed list, drag and drop a Material Stream to the Flowsheet. |
03:23 | Click on MSTR-000 to view its properties. |
03:29 | Let’s change the name of this stream to Water In. |
03:34 | Now we will specify the Water In stream properties. |
03:40 | Go to Input Data. |
03:43 | Select Flash Spec as Temperature and Pressure (TP), if not already selected. |
03:50 | By default, Temperature and Pressure are already selected as Flash Spec. |
03:56 | Change Temperature to 10 degree Centigrade and press Enter. |
04:02 | Change Pressure to 1 bar and press Enter. |
04:08 | Change Mass Flow to 15000 kg/h and press Enter. |
04:16 | Now let us specify the feed stream compositions. |
04:21 | Under Composition, choose the Basis as Mole Fractions, if not already selected. |
04:29 | By default, Mole Fractions is selected as Basis. |
04:34 | Now for Methanol, enter the Amount as 0 and press Enter. |
04:42 | Similarly, for Water, enter it as 1 and press Enter. |
04:50 | On the right, click on this green tick to Accept Changes. |
04:55 | Now drag and drop another Material Stream to the flowsheet. |
05:01 | Click on Material Stream “MSTR-001” to view its properties. |
05:08 | Let’s change the name of this stream to Methanol In. |
05:13 | Now we will specify the Methanol In stream properties. |
05:19 | Go to Input Data. Select Flash Spec as Temperature and Pressure (TP). |
05:26 | By default, Temperature and Pressure are again already selected as Flash Spec. |
05:33 | Change Temperature to 80 degC and press Enter. |
05:40 | Change Pressure to 5 bar and press Enter. |
05:46 | Change Mass Flow to 25000 kg/h and press Enter. |
05:55 | Now, let us specify the Methanol In stream compositions. |
06:01 | Under Composition, choose the Basis as Mole Fractions, if not already selected. |
06:09 | By default, Mole Fractions is selected as Basis. |
06:14 | Now, for Methanol, enter the Amount as 1 and press Enter. |
06:22 | Similarly, for Water, enter it as 0 and press Enter. |
06:30 | On the right, click on this green tick to Accept Changes. |
06:35 | Now, let’s insert two more material streams that exit the Heat Exchanger. |
06:41 | To do that, let us drag one Material Stream. |
06:45 | Let us now arrange it. |
06:48 | Leave that stream as unspecified. |
