The question always comes up of which fluid to put in the tubes and which fluid to put in the shell. Consider placing a fluid…
TEMA standards provide for two classes of shell and tube exchanger qualities. Class C is the lessĀ stringent and is typically used in onshore applications…
When a magnetizable solid is subjected to a magnetic induction field, the local magnetic moments are oriented in the direction of the induction fields, and…
A vessel may be subject to more than one condition under different failure scenarios. For example, a low pressure separator may be subject to blocked…
In the interest of energy conversion, process heat can be obtained from a heat recovery unit in which heat is recovered from turbine or reciprocating…
A pipe that releases gas to disperse into the atmosphere is called a vent. If the gas is burned at the tip, it is called…
The required heat duty, film coefficients, conductivity, etc. for a shell and tube heat exchanger can be calculated using the procedures in Heat Transfer Theory,…
The maximum allowable stress values to be used in the calculation of the vessel’s wall thickness are given in the ASME Code for many different…
A fixed bed of solid particles can be used to remove acid gases either through chemical reactions or ionic bonding. Typically, in solid bed absorption…
These units are designed to allow hydrates to form and to melt them with the heat of the incoming gas stream before they can plug…
