Abstract. In this paper, an iterative procedure for thermo-hydraulic calculation of shell and tube heat exchangers according to prescribed pressure drop, has been presented. From this procedure it is possible to predict the heat exchanger geometries for which one can expect in advance to satisfy the thermo-hydraulic conditions of project. It remains to the designer to pay a full attention to the analysis of possible solutions and to the choice of optimal heat exchanger geometry.
Key words: shell and tube heat exchanger, design, iterative procedure

NOVI POSTUPAK ZA PRORAČUN I PROJEKTOVANJE DOBOŠASTIH IZMENJIVAČA TOPLOTE
U radu je prikazan jedan iterativni postupak za termo-hidraulički proračun dobošastih izmenjivača toplote prema pripisanom padu pritiska. Ovim postupkom moguće je predvideti set geometrija izmenjivača toplote za koje se unapred može očekivati da će zadovoljiti termo-hidrauličke uslove projekta. Na ovaj način projektanti punu pažnju posvećuju analizi mogu}ih rešenja i izboru optimalne geometrije izmenjivača toplote.
Ključne reči: dobošasti izmenjivač toplote, proračun, iterativni postupak
