The thermal design of a heat exchanger to recover heat from a kerosene stream by transfer to a crude oil stream was carried out in. Make a preliminary mechanical design for this exchanger. Base your design on the specification obtained from the CAD design procedure used in the example. All material of construction is to be carbon steel (semi-killed or silicon killed). Your design should cover:
a. Choice of design pressure and temperature
b. Choice of the required corrosion allowances
c. Choice of the type of end covers
d. Determination of the minimum wall thickness for the shell, headers, and ends
e. A check on the pressure rating of the tubes
