Half-pipe coil overall coefficient 3

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?

Dear Mr. Mfowler:

I received the fax. The cover sheet indicated 26 pages, but the actual number of pages received including the cover sheet was 21.

Garvin, "Understand the Thermal Design of Jacketed Vessels",Chemical Engineering Progress, June 1999,contained pages 61 thru 66. From the way page 66 ends, it appears that the article has more pages. Some pages are missing.

Dream, "Heat Transfer in Agitated Vessels, Chemical Engineering, January 1999, contained pages 90 thru 93. From the way page 93 ends, it appears that the article has more pages. Some pages are missing.

Bandy and Lippa, "Heat Transfer in Agitated Vessels", Chemical Engineering, April 4th, 1983, contained pages 62 thru 71. It is complete

If you can, please fax me the missing pages in the first two articles. My fax number is (415)768-5574. Also I want to know to whom I should send my check contributing to the Eng-Tips Forums.

Thank you again for your help.

In my previous messge I incorrectly typed my fax number as (415)768-5574. The correct fax number is (415)768-5511.
