Experimental Investigation on Heat Transfer Analysis in a Cross flow Heat Exchanger with Waved Baffle Plates by using FLOEFD
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Heat exchanger is devices used to exchange the heat between two liquids that are at different temperature .These are used as a reheated in many industries and auto mobile sector and power plants. The main aim of our project is thermal analysis of heat exchanger with waved baffles for different types of materials at different mass flow rates and different tube diameters using FLOEFD software and comparing the results that are obtained. The work is a simplified model for the study of thermal analysis of shell-and-tubes heat exchangers having water as cold and hot fluid. Shell and Tube heat exchangers are having special importance in boilers, oil coolers, condensers, pre-heaters. They are also widely used in process applications as well as the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. The robustness and medium weighted shape of Shell and Tube heat exchangers make them well suited for high pressure operations. The project shows the best material, best boundary conditions and parameters of materials we have to use for better heat conduction. For this we are chosen a practical problem of counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger having water, by using the data that come from cfd analysis. A design of sample model of shell and tube heat exchanger with waved baffles is using Pro-e and done the thermal analysis by using FLOEFD software by assigning different materials to tubes with different diameters having different mass flow rates and comparing the result that obtained from FLOEFD software.
