Introduction:-

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs. It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure and higher-temperature applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell) to transfer heat between the two fluids. The set of tubes is called a tube bundle, and may be composed by several types of tubes: plain, longitudinally finned, etc.

A heat exchanger is a device for transferring heat from one fluid to another, where a solid wall separates the fluids so that they never mix. They are widely used in refrigeration, air conditioning, space heating, power production, and chemical processing. One common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car, in which the hot radiator fluid is cooled by the flow of air over the radiator surface. (2)

Theory and Application:-

Two fluids, of different starting temperatures, flow through the heat exchanger. One flows through the tubes (the tube side) and the other flows outside the tubes but inside the shell (the shell side). Heat is transferred from one fluid to the other through the tube walls, either from tube side to shell side or vice versa. The fluids can be either liquids or gases on either the shell or the tube side. In order to transfer heat efficiently, a large heat transfer area should be used, leading to the use of many tubes. In this way,

    Direct exchange systems are significantly more efficient and have potentially lower installation costs than closed loop water systems. Copper's high thermal conductivity contributes to the higher efficiency of the system, but heat flow is predominantly limited by the thermal conductivity of the ground, not the pipe. The main reasons for the higher efficiency are the elimination of the water pump (which uses electricity), the elimination of the water heat exchanger (which is a source of heat losses), and most importantly, the latent heat phase change of the refrigerant in the ground itself.…

    For each of the three cases, a heat exchange network was designed according to the criteria given in the specified case. Case A included no heat integration and the sizing parameters and cost analysis were done only using utilities. For Case B and Case C, a pinch analysis was performed to properly integrate the process streams. Once the pinch analysis was completed, temperature interval diagrams were drawn on Excel spreadsheets in order to map out the MUMNE network. A HENSAD simulation was a possible computer oriented approach to the design, but the team opted to use other resources instead.…

    Heat can be transferred via three different methods: conduction in solids, convection of fluids (liquid or gases) and radiation (IPAC Caltec ). The method used to transfer heat is usually the one that is the most efficient. If there is a temperature difference in a system, heat will always move down the temperature gradient (i.e. from higher to lower temperatures).…
