What is the characteristic length of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger?

01 January 2014 1 8K Report

I want to check the nature of flow in the shell side of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger. Hence I need to know the characteristic length of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger to calculate the Rayleigh Number.

I am attaching a file for clarity on my question. The file contains the characteristic length of an annular configuration.
