Economizer Design Calculations

This document summarizes the design calculations for an evaporator with the following parameters: - Pressure of 13 bar - Mass flow rate of 5.75 kg/s - Saturation temperature of 191.6°C at 13 bar It determines that the heat transfer rate is 3424.24 kW. It then calculates the overall heat transfer coefficient based on temperature differences and properties of the gas and water. The required surface area is calculated to be 843.7471597 m2. Based on the tube dimensions, it is determined that 41 tubes high would be needed.
