Experimental and CFD Simulation in Modified heat Exchanger with Baffles

Kashid P. D. | Dr. Sriramshastri Chavali

Abstract: In modern industrial era heat transfer management has been given a prime importance in order to achieve an efficient system. The shell and tube type heat exchangers are the most prominently used heat transfer equipment?s. The design of shell and tube heat exchanger requires a balanced approach between the thermal design and pressure drop.. Water is the working fluid in the heat exchanger and metal-based heat exchanger. Experimental set up will be manufactured with minimum possible dimensions to reduce the cost. Thermocouples are used to measure the temperature of water at the inlet and outlet. The flow control valves are used to control the flow rate. The effect of mass flow rate of fluids on heat exchanger was studied. CFD simulation technique is used to study flow rate across shell and tube heat exchanger along with standard design in CATIA software. The result & conclusion was drawn after the experimental resting. Experimental validation of CFD results is to be performed.
