Experimental Comparison of Performance of Staggered and Double Cross Flow Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers

This document describes an experimental study comparing the performance of staggered and double cross flow shell and tube heat exchangers. The objective is to increase the overall heat transfer coefficient and effectiveness in the double cross flow design by simulating fluid flow and heat transfer using CFD. Dimensions and materials of the exchangers are provided. Experimental parameters like pressure drop, effectiveness, and heat transfer coefficient are measured and compared between the designs to evaluate performance.

OBJECTIVE

• To increase the overall heat transfer coefficient and to find


effectiveness in double cross flow shell and tube heat
exchanger and comparing them with staggered type shell and
tube heat exchanger.
• To simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer in staggered
type and double cross flow heat exchanger using CFD and to
investigate pressure drop, velocity distribution and
temperature distribution.
INTRODUCTION

• Heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal


energy between two or more fluids.
• In double cross flow shell and tube heat exchanger, water
passes through the tube and air passes over the tube.
