Enhancement of Heat Transfer of a Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger

Abstract

This Paper Consists of extensive thermal analysis of the effect of severs loading condition on the performance of the heat exchanger. A simplified model of shell and tube heat exchanger has been design using Kim method to cool the water from 70 Degree Celsius to 6 Degree Celsius by using water at room temperature. The Heat Exchanger containing 5 tubes diameter 1.9 cm. and the tube length is 98.5 cm. The shell is 100.5 cm length the diameter 5 cm This heat Exchanger is experimented with various shell side and tube side inlet temperature to see its effect on the performance of the heat exchanger at counter and parallel flow condition. We have also Experimented the heat exchanger under various shell side flow condition. All these Observations along with their discussion have been discussed in detail inside the paper
