An improved procedure for calculating mean heat transfer coefficients on the shell side of shell and tube heat exchangers with segmental baffles is set up. This is based on determining the heat transfer coefficient of a tube bundle without baffles in transverse flow, which is then corrected to allow for leakage, bypassing and the flow pattern of the baffled exchanger. The proposed method is compared with numerous published experimental results.
