Evaporator with parallel rows according to Cottam design

Information

This is an evaporator with parallel rows according to Cottam design

  • The gas flow is modeled using a simple quasi stationary pressure drop.
  • The water/steam flow and inner heat transfer is modeled using the Components.Pipes.Tube model.
  • The outer heat transfer gas-metal can be chosen from
    • Escoa correlation, see Chris Weierman, Correlations ease the selection of finned tubes, The Oil and Gas Journal, Sept. 6, 1976; Update (Fintube Corp. ESCOA Engineering Manual) from July 2002.
    • Simple heat transfer with constant heat transfer coefficient.

The model restrictions are:
