Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Performance Analysis
2014
A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy (enthalpy) between two or more fluids, at different temperatures and in thermal contact. In this problem of heat transfer involved the condition where different constructional parameters are changed for getting the performance review under different condition. An excel program has been developed for the ease of calculation and obtaining result after changing different parameters. The tube diameter, tube length, shell types etc. are all standardized and are available only in certain sizes and geometry. And so the design of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger usually involves a trial and error procedure where for a certain combination of the design variables the heat transfer area is calculated and then another combination is tried to check if there is any possibility of increasing the heat transfer coefficient. Since several discrete combinations of the design configurations are possible, the designer needs an efficient...
THE DESIGN OF SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS -A REVIEW
techniques yield the same exact results. Impact Factor (JCC): 7.6197 SCOPUS Indexed Journal NAAS Rating: 3.11 to schedule any required maintenance activities. There are numerous references available in the literature pertaining to heat exchanger performance modelling, and only the most pertinent studies are discussed in this manuscript. Tahery et al [1] considered new design techniques based on the tube bundle effect in the economic optimization of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. They developed cost estimation techniques for shell-and-tube heat exchangers by introducing new objective functions. The combined reduction of annual capital investment and operating cost led to a decrease in the overall costs of about 10% to 24%. Hadidi et al [2] considered cost minimization of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. They developed a new shell and tube heat exchanger optimization approach based on an imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA). ICA technique was applied to minimize the total cost of the
