Abstract

In this paper, a simplified model for the study of thermal analysis of shell-and-tubes heat exchangers of water and oil type is proposed..Shell and Tube heat exchangers are having special importance in boilers, oil coolers, condensers, pre-heaters. They are also widely used in process applications as well as the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. The robustness and medium weighted shape of Shell and Tube heat exchangers make them well suited for high pressure operations. In this paper we have shown how to done the thermal analysis by using theoretical formulae for this we have chosen a practical problem of counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger of water and oil type, by using the data that come from theoretical formulae we have design a model of shell and tube heat exchanger using Pro-e and done the thermal analysis by using ANSYS software and comparing the result that obtained from ANSYS software and theoretical formulae. For simplification of theoretical calculations we have also done a C code which is useful for calculating the thermal analysis of a counter flow of water-oil type shell and tube heat exchanger.

Keywords

Counter flow of shell and tube heat exchanger of oil and water type, ANSYS software, C software.
