Abstract

In the present study an effort has made for Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis of a single pass counter flow Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHX) with varying number of baffles & comparing the mass flow rate i.e 1kg/sec and 2kg/sec. STHX is the most common and widely used type of heat exchangers in oil refineries, condensers and other large chemical processing plants. To analyze the performance of STHX, hot fluid has made to flow through shell and cold fluid is allowed to flow through the tube. Our analysis is based on shell side study to find out temperature at the inlet and outlet of shell side, pressure drop and velocity drop.
