Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger Lab Report
1. Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger – Working Principle
The shell and tube heat exchanger comprises of two major things as its name state "Shell and Tube". The shell is a major vassel with quantities of tube inside it (Jalmood, n.d). Shell and tube heat exchangers are helpful for pressurized application. Heat is exchanged between the liquid in the tubes and the liquid inside the shell. Configuration of the tube pack is such that, all the section sides of the tube could be joined with a typical header and correspondingly all the way out sides of the tubes likewise form another normal header (Suvo, 2009).
The principle of operation is sufficiently straightforward. Two liquids of diverse temperatures are brought into close contact yet they are not …show more content…
Liquids are a subset of the periods of matter and include fluids gasses plasmas and to some degree plastic solids. This has a major point of preference over a routine heat exchanger in that the liquids are presented to a much bigger surface area in light of the fact that the liquids spread out over the plates. This encourages the exchange of heat and greatly expands the rate of the temperature change. Plate heat exchangers are presently regular and little brazed forms are utilized as a part of the high temperature water segments of a large number of combination boilers (Plate Type Heat Exchanger, …show more content…
Making every chamber thin ensures that most of the volume of the fluid contacts the plate again helping exchange. The troughs additionally make and keep up a turbulent stream in the fluid to amplify heat move in the exchanger. A high level of turbulence can be gotten at low stream rates and high heat exchange coefficient can then be accomplished (Plate Type Heat Exchanger, n.d).
3. Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger - Working Principle
The plate-fin heat exchanger is a single with plate and fin for heat exchanger. It is mainly designed of the beam and also the top of the plate (head). There are a few channels from its beam. It lies in each section of the fin channel between two plates, and it is closed tight on both side. Based on the liquid flow in several ways such as cold, hot liquid channel, alignment and overlay welding which is composed from plate beam. The liquid can flow either on counter-current, cross flow and parallel flow (Chance-Coolers, n.d).
