Process Engineering Calculations (Part 1) - 127

The document discusses the design and calculations for heat exchangers handling viscous liquids, emphasizing the need for step-wise calculations when viscosity variations are significant. It outlines various TEMA shell types, including TEMA E, F, G, and H, each with specific configurations and applications for different flow scenarios. The importance of selecting the appropriate shell design based on tube length and flow characteristics is highlighted to ensure effective heat transfer.
