Abstract

Shell and tube heat exchanger (STHeX) design development continues to be carried out to increase the effectiveness of a system. One way is to investigate the optimal baffle design. The new structure of STHeX with Inclined-Segmental Baffles is further investigated. The experiment was carried out using the numerical method Computing Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software with three-dimensional modeling. The results show that the heat change coefficient value is lower than conventional STHeX, However, the pressure drop value is reduced quite significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to know the overall heat transfer coefficient value per pressure loss (U/DeltaP). Hence, we get U/DeltaP values of 0.9 and 0.68 for STHeX with Inclined-Segmental Baffle and conventional STHeX, respectively. Thus, there is a significant increase ranging from 37-34%. It is concluded that STHeX with Inclined-Segmental baffles increases the U/DeltaP value significantly compared to conventional STHeX.

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical investigation into the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHeX) equipped with baffles that induces swirl flow. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was created to simulate the STHeX behavior, and its accuracy was confirmed by comparing it to the Bell-Delaware method results. The two sets of calculations exhibited good agreement, validating the CFD model. The velocity component of the fluid flow was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The flow patterns of eddies on the STHeX were carefully examined and their correlation with thermal performance was investigated. This study demonstrates that the swirl flow baffle geometry leads to a more turbulent flow pattern, resulting in an increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient. The findings indicate that the swirl flow baffle enhances heat transfer performance and reduces pressure drop in comparison to a conventional STHeX.
