Dn. Paliwal et al., A PROGRAM FOR THE DESIGN OF A HEAT-EXCHANGER AS PER TEMA STANDARDS, International journal of pressure vessels and piping, 57(1), 1994, pp. 111-129
A program has been developed for the mechanical design of various part
s of a fixed-tubesheet heat exchanger with two saddle supports. The de
sign procedure given in TEMA and ASME VIII Section 1 standards have be
en followed, using a program which has been compiled in PASCAL and pro
vides for automatic selection of nozzles and bolts for the channel hea
d. Use of this program results in a considerable reduction in time req
uired for the design.
