I am currently designing a larger replacement vessel for an existing stainless steel reactor at our plant. To minimize the steel thicknesses we are investigating using half-pipe coils as the heating/ cooling source. In order to evaluate the new design, I need to calculate the steady state heating and cooling capability of the new design. I am having trouble finding some general recommendations for overall heat transfer coefficients to finish this calculation.
The vessel contains a light organic solvent (ether). The vessel will be heated with 80psig steam and cooled with 40F chill water.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a overall heat transfer coefficients?
