The kettle diameter is determined by the criterion that the actual vapor velocity is
less than the maximum allowable velocity.
These velocities are defined in the HTRI Design Manual.
Entrainment ratios for kettle sizing are as follows:
Steam generator = 0.001 liq-wt/vap-wt, Others = 0.01 liq-wt/vap-wt

Select K,
K then Xist calculate thermal performance as pool boiling.
Hot fluid location is Tubeside (Inside tubes)
If the shell inside diameter is specified, the program calculates the bundle
diameter. (recommend)

Xist can calculate the kettle ID. However, the kettle ID should be sized by manual.
The ratio of liquid level height and bundle diameter should be input if the liquid
level is different from the default. It affects the internal circulation calculation.
The entrainment ratio should be specified if that is different from the default and
the kettle ID is determined by the program.
Inlet pressure location:
At inlet nozzle: Xist calculates pressure at the top of bundle
At top of bundle: Xist calculates pressure at the bottom of bundle

Kettle Type Chiller (Item Tag E-3133)
Since the kettle side fluid is a boiling fluid, the physical properties for the
actual mixture should be input.
In this case, in order to minimize the intricate work, use property
generator by VMG-Thermo in Xist.
Tube side data shall be input manually.
Use AKU type.
Tube diameter, tube pitch and so on should be determined referring to the
BD Manual.
Consider liquid residence time for level control.
The kettle ID should be sized by manual.
