Abstract

Shell and tube type heat exchanger is used as universal equipment in many industrial departments, such as chemical industry, oil refining process, power plant, food industry, and so on. Heat exchanger is playing an important role in product quality, energy utilization and system economic and reliable performance. In recent years, there have been significant researches on the performance of shell and tube heat exchanger especially on the effect of baffle inclination angle, space, types upon heat transfer and pressure drop. The objective of this paper is to present the different effect of baffle on the pressure drop, overall heat transfer coefficient and other parameter.
