1 Degn and Heat Transfer Performance of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger by ung Nano Fluids V. Ashok Kumar 1, K. Upender 2 Associate Professor, Mechanic Engineering, Mother Theressa College of Engg & Tech. Peddapli, Telangana 1 M. Tech, Student, Mechanic Engineering, Mother Theressa College of Engg. & Tech. Peddapli, Telangana 2 Abstract: Heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between one or more fluids. In this thes, different nano fluids mixed with base fluid water are anyzed for their performance in the radiator. The nano fluids are Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Oxide and Titanium carbide for two volume fracons,. Theorec cculaons are done determine the properes for nano fluids and those properes are used as inputs for anys.3d model of the shell and tube heat exchanger is done in Pro/Engineer. CFD anys is done on the shell and tube heat exchanger for l nano fluids and volume fracon and therm anys is done in Ansys for two materis Aluminum and Copper for better fluid at better volume fracon from CFD anys. Key words: Finite element anys, steam boiler, CFD anys, therm anys. I. INTRODUCTION Heat exchangers are one of the mostly used equipment in the process industries. Heat Exchangers are used to transfer heat between two process streams. One can reize their usage that any process which involve cooling, heang, condensaon, boiling or evaporaon will require a heat exchanger for these purpose. Fig. Segment baffled one-pass shell and two-pass tube shell-and-tube heat exchanger Different heat exchangers are named according to their applicaon. For example, heat exchangers being used to condense are known as condensers, milarly heat exchanger for boiling purposes are cled boilers. Performance and efficiency of heat exchangers are measured through the amount of heat transfer ung least area of heat transfer and pressure drop. A better presentaon of its efficiency is done by cculang over l heat transfer coefficient. Pressure drop and area required for a certain amount of heat transfer, provides an inght about the capit cost and power requirements (Running cost) of a heat exchanger. Usuly, there is lots of literature and theories to degn a heat exchanger according to the requirements. II. LITERATURE REVIEW Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are used widely in the chemic process industries, especily in refineries, because of the numerous advantages they offer over other types of heat exchangers. A lot of informaon is available regarding their degn and construcon. The present notes are intended only to serve as a brief introducon. III. RESEARCH GAP & PROBLEM DESCRIPTION In the research by R. Shankar Subramanian, the shell and tube heat exchanger is taken in the water with various temperatures. In this thes, ong with water Aluminum Al 2 O 3, licon oxide and tanium carbide nano fluid at different volume fracons ( and ) of the shell and tube heat exchanger is anyzed for heat transfer properes, temperature, pressure,velocity and mass flow rates in CFD anys. In therm anys, two materis Copper and Aluminum are condered for heat exchanger. Modeling is done in Pro/Engineer, Therm anys and CFD anys is done in Ansys. The boundary condions for therm anys are temperatures, for CFD anys is pressure, velocity and temperature. IV.
