Dear Sirs,
I have designed one BEM heat exchanger (337 ID, shell side fluid is air at 200 degree celcius & tube side fluid is water at 65 degree celcius) in which the compressive stresses in the tubes are exeeding the allowable stresses, so i have used a thick expansion joint to reduce these stresses.
But mine doubt is, can i use thick expansion joint (single convolution) in which the thickness of joint is 10 mm however thk of shell is only 6 mm?
