Design Of Shell And Tube Heat Exchnager

Abstract

A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy (enthalpy) between two or more fluids, between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid particulates and a fluid, at different temperatures and in thermal contact. From different types of heat exchangers, the shell and tube heat exchangers with straight tubes and single pass is to be under study. There is a wide application of shell and tube type of heat exchanger in the field of brewery and other industrial applications for its enhanced heat transfer characteristics and compact structure. Researches are going on to improve the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger. Here, we have fabricated the shell and tube heat exchanger with selecting the materials on the primary objective of enhancing the heat transfer effectiveness for brewery applications.
