Heat Exchanger
Objective:
 To design The Heat Exchanger in complete detail
 To understand the material and energy balance analysis

Theory:
A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. The fluids can be
single or two phase and, depending on the exchanger type, may be separated or in direct contact.
Devices involving energy sources such as nuclear fuel pins or fired heaters are not normally
regarded as heat exchangers although many of the principals involved in their design are the
same.
In order to discuss heat exchanger, it is necessary to provide some form of categorization. There
are two approaches that are normally taken. The first considers the flow configuration within the
heat exchanger, while the second is based on the classification of equipment type primarily by
construction. Both are considered here.
Classification of Heat Exchangers by Flow Configuration
There are four basic flow configurations:
 Counter Flow
 Co-current Flow
 Crossflow
 Hybrids such as Cross Counterflow and Multi Pass Flow
One of the most important heat exchangers is shell and tube heat exchanger

Shell and tube Heat exchanger:

A Shell and Tube Exchanger consists of a number of tubes mounted inside a cylindrical shell.
Figure illustrates a typical unit that may be found in a petrochemical plant. Two fluids can
exchange heat, one fluid flows over the outside of the tubes while the second fluid flows through
the tubes. The fluids can be single or two phase and can flow in a parallel or a cross/counter flow
arrangement. The shell and tube exchanger consist of four major parts:
 Front end–this is where the fluid enters the tube side of the exchanger.
 Rear end–this is where the tube side fluid leaves the exchanger or where it is returned to the
front header in exchangers with multiple tube side passes.
 Tube bundle–this comprises of the tubes, tube sheets, baffles and tie rods etc. to hold the
bundle together.
 Shell—this contains the tube bundle.

Discussion:
We use shell and tube heat exchanger to proceed it and solve the complex engineering problem
and design the heat exchanger

Conclusion:
Maximum Effective of shell and tube heat exchanger is 60.2 % and minimum 41.48%. The
Effective increases directly according to the debit of water.
