An Investigation of the Failure of the Heat Exchanger's Shells and Pipe

Abstract

A heat exchanger, as its name suggests, is a device that transfers heat from one fluid—which may be very hot—to another. Engineers often use heat exchangers, which are devices designed to efficiently transfer heat from one fluid to another. Intercoolers, pre-heaters, boilers, and condensers are a few examples of components found in energy vegetation. The arrangement of the heat exchanger and the properties of the working fluid are two factors that determine the effectiveness of the heat switch. Important design characteristics include baffle spacing, tube layer, tube period, and pitch ratio. In this project, the efficiency of the heat switch is improved by using MATLAB drift simulation to determine the estimated heat switch rates after imposing the whole baffle pattern and travel tube design. The results of the simulations provide the optimal baffle and travel tube arrangement for the most efficient charge transmission of heat. Additionally, this project is concerned with determining the optimal fluid for maximum heat transmission capacity.
