A Study on the Heat Transfer in Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger with Various Baffle Types

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, variousresearches and developments of heat exchangers with high thermal efficiencyhave been in progress to save energy. Baffles are used as design variables in a way that enhancesheat transfer performance of shell and tube heat exchanger. There have beenvarious of researches and developments in the relations between baffles andheat transfer performance. Existing studies on shell and tube heat exchangersare mainly about heat transfer properties of either segmental type baffles orhelical baffles. However, there is inadequateof study with comparisons between the two types ofbaffles. Thus, this paper aims to research changes in heat transfer properties according to thenumber of segmental and helical baffles. It shows pressure drop, temperaturedifference of inlet and outlet, heating surface area of inner flow region, andheat transfer coefficient in tubes.
