The IMPLENTATION OF SHELL AND TUBE EXCHANGER

Abstract

Heat exchangers have always been an important part to the lifecycle and operation of many systems. A heat
exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another in order to carry and process
energy. Typically one medium is cooled while the other is heated. They are widely used in petroleum refineries,
chemical plants, and petrochemical plants. The purpose of this thesis work is to design an Oil Cooler, especially for
shell and tube heat exchange which is the majority type of liquid to liquid heat exchanger with baffle for induced
turbulence and higher heat transfer coefficient. Modeling is done by using PRO-Engineer, and analysis carried out in
Ansys soft ware 14.5. General design consideration and design procedure are also illustrated in this thesis in design
calculation; the Ansys soft ware 14.5 and HTRI software are used. Within the project work the analysis are done for
heat exchanger with baffle and without baffle also used four material for tubes (brass, nickel, carbon steel ,stainless
steel) and observed the heat transfer rate is increased for heat exchanger with baffle and when we used brass
