Alternatively, 𝑗𝐻 can be determined by using Fig: 3.17, Page: 89.
a. Tube: Plane or finned
b. Baffle type: Segmental
c. Baffle cut: 20%
d. Pairs of sealing strips per 10 tube rows: 1

Alternatively Fig: 28, Page: 838 may be used which involves

Typical Tube Pass Arrangements:
1. Ribbon (Horizontal partitions)
2. Quadrant (Cross partition)
3. H-banded (Mixed partition)

Criterion of pass partitions:


Number of passes should be selected in such a way that
temperature correction factor, fluid velocity, pressure drop and
dynamic pressure are acceptable. Furthermore, pass partition
configuration should be selected in such a way that temperature
difference between adjacent sectors in each head is less than
𝟓𝟎℉ 𝟐𝟖℃ otherwise high temperature gradients may cause
undesirable thermal stresses on the tube sheet.
