Abstract |
Coil finned tube type of heat exchangers provides high crossflow heat transfer coefficient on shell side which is a governing parameter to decide overall heat transfer coefficient. Moreover it provides very low shell side pressure drops and high overall effectiveness of counterflow. The geometrical parameters can be manipulated to adjust the thermal performance as well as pressure drop performance of heat exchanger. The clearance between the walls of shell and fin is very important parameter to adjust the performance. In this paper optimization for mean diameter of heat exchanger is carried out. And results are verified by CFD analysis. |
