Heat Transfer Enhancement of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Heat exchanger is a device which provides a flow of thermal energy between two or more fluids at different temperatures. There are many problems created in the segmental heat exchanger during and after the work. The major causes of this problem is the geometry of heat exchanger, type of fluid used, type of material etc., The purpose of this work is to design the shell and tube heat exchanger which is one among the majority type of liquid –to –liquid heat exchanger. Since the important design parameters such as the pitch ratio, tube length, and tube layer as well as baffle spacing has a direct effect on pressure drop and effectiveness, they are considered to be the key parameters in this work. General design consideration and design procedure are also illustrated in this work. The analysis of orifice baffle and convergent divergent tube in a shell and tube heat exchanger are experimentally carried out. The newly designed heat exchanger obtained a maximum heat transfer coefficient and a lower pressure drop. From the numerical experimentation, the result shows that the performance of heat exchanger increases in modified baffle and tube than the segmental baffle and tube arrangement.
