Where do I find the results for Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers in Series?
Solution
EDR – Exchanger design & rating program is well capable of design of the Shell & Tube heat exchnager in series / parallel. User can easily observe the results for the inlet & outlet temperatures, heat exchanger duty, pressure drops for both the exchangers in series:
The results available on TEMA Sheet is the overall (final) results of the heat exchaner including both the exchangers in series. Only user can find that under TEMA sheet, whether connected in parallel or in series.
To check the individual exchanger results when its in Series like heat duty, temperatures, pressures, etc. user can check the same under:

“Shell by Shell Conditions”
Details available under help in EDR:
When there are multiple shells in series, the table of shell by shell conditions lists the heat load in each shell, and the temperature, pressure, and quality (vapor mass fraction) of both the shell side and tube side streams at inlet to and outlet from each shell.
The table is also produced when there is only a single exchanger, but in this case the information merely duplicates what is given elsewhere on the overall exchanger performance.
The table also lists the mean shell metal and mean tube metal temperatures in each shell, together with the maximum and minimum tube metal temperatures. The mean temperatures are distance weighted averages, appropriate for use in mechanical design calculations. The corresponding values for the overall set of exchangers are given on the MTD & Fluxes tab under the Heat Transfer results section.
