The material used for tubes is copper due to its high ermal conductivity and fluid in tubes and e shell is water. The solutions from CFD shows at keeping e no. of tubes and ickness of e tubes as constant and increasing e diameter of e tubes, e temperature is increasing at e outlet of e heat exchanger tubes, performance of e heat exchanger is decreasing by increasing e diameter of e tubes. If we are going to increase e ickness of e tube by keeping e no. of tubes same and same diameter e temperature at e outlet is decreasing hence e performance of e heat exchanger increases by increasing e ickness of e tubes, e results are discussed for 27 different cases wi taking diff geometric dimensions into consideration. Heat transfer rate is decreasing wi increase in number of tubes and also decreasing wi increase in e diameter of e tube, but e heat transfer rate is increases wi increasing e ickness of e tubes. As per e requirement of heat exchange, e geometric dimensions and no. of tubes can be calculated for getting maximum efficiency and performance of e shell and tube heat exchanger. Keywords exchanger, CFD. Counter flow, Shell and tube heat I. INTRODUCTION Heat exchangers are devices at used for e heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures. The shell and tube heat exchangers are widely used due to eir ease of manufacturing, and relatively low manufacturing cost, better heat transfer rates, and low maintenance cost, shell and tube heat exchangers are available in many sizes and can adopt wide range of temperature and pressure. This study has its prime objective of obtaining e temperature distribution at e outlet of tubes and shell to conclude at what can be e best suited geometric dimensions for getting higher heat transfer rates. Counter flow Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger is used in is study. This type of heat exchanger is provided wi bundle of tubes in a shell. Tubes may be provided wi single or multiple passes, ere is one pass used in is type of heat exchanger, mainly two fluids are interact wi each oer and are separated by a solid wall. i.e tube ickness. One of e fluid flows in tubes and second fluid is forced in e shell (a cylindrical vessel). And e heat from e high temperature fluid flows to e fluid wi low temperature by conduction and convection process. The fluid wi high temperature is forced rough e tubes and fluid wi low temperature is forced in e shell. Shell and tube heat exchanger is common type of heat exchanger and it is widely used in steel plants, power plants, oil refineries and oer chemical processes. Performance and efficiency of heat exchangers can be obtained from e final output of e heat transfer. In is study, 3D CFD model of shell and tube heat exchanger is considered. By modeling e accurate geometry, e temperature distribution inside e shell and e tubes are obtained. Selection of appropriate materials is an important aspect for e design of e heat exchanger to get maximum heat transfer and efficiently. Copper material is used in is research as it is an excellent conductor of heat. This means at copper's high ermal conductivity allows heat to pass rough it quickly. Oer desirable properties of copper in heat exchangers include its corrosion resistance, maximum allowable stress and 497 Copyright Vandana Publications. All Rights Reserved.

LITERATURE REVIEW Ajikumar, Ganesha, M. C. Ma[1] : In is paper, an effort has made for Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis of a single pass parallel flow Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHX) wi ree different baffle inclinations namely 0, 10, and 20 for a given baffle cut of 36%. The basic geometry of shell and tube heat exchanger has made by CATIA V5. The flow and temperature fields inside e shell have studied using ANSYS-FLUENT. The heat exchanger contains 7 tubes wi 600 mm leng and shell diameter 90 mm. The study indicated at flow pattern in e shell side of e heat exchanger wi continuous helical baffle was forced to rotate e fluid, which results in significant increase in heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficient per unit pressure drop an segmental baffle STHX. So from is study e better option for a shell and tube heat exchanger is a helical baffle at zero degree an a segmental baffle wi 10 degree baffle inclination. In segmental baffle STHX it is observed at 10 baffle inclination angle results in a reasonable pressure drop wi maximum shell outlet temperature and higher heat transfer rate. Vasiny [2]: Proposed a simplified model of shell and tube type heat exchanger using kern s meod to cool e water from 55 to 45 by using water at room temperature. And carried out steady state ermal analysis on ANSYS 14.0 and en e same has been fabricated using e exact dimensions as derived from e designing. And have tested e heat exchanger under various flow and ambient temperature conditions using e insulations of aluminium foil, cotton wool, tape, foam, paper to see its effect on e performance of e heat exchanger. Also tried to create e turbulence by closing e pump opening and observed its effect on its effectiveness. Concluded at e insulation is a good tool to increase e rate of heat transfer and cotton wool and e tape have given e best values of effectiveness. There is no any direct relation between e turbulence and effectiveness and effectiveness attains its peak at some intermediate value. The ambient conditions for which e heat exchanger was tested do not show any significant effect over e heat exchanger s performance. Sandeep [3]: in is paper e performance of heat exchanger is evaluated by varying e fluid flow rate and found at ere is increase in pressure drop wi increase in fluid flow rate in shell and tube heat exchanger which increases pumping power. Genetic algorim provides significant improvement in e optimal designs compared to e traditional designs. It also reveals at e harmony search algorim can converge to optimum solution wi higher accuracy in comparison wi genetic algorim. Tube pitch ratio, tube leng, tube layout as well as baffle spacing ratio was found to be important design parameters which has a direct effect on pressure drop and causes a conflict between e effectiveness and total cost. A.GopiChand [4]: Simplified model for e study of ermal analysis of shell-and-tubes heat exchangers of water and oil type is proposed by using e data at come from eoretical formulae and have designed a model of shell and tube heat exchanger using Pro-e and done e ermal analysis by using Floefd software and done e ermal analysis of water to oil type of shell and tube heat exchanger using Matlab and by using e output at come from Matlab we have modeled a shell and tube heat exchanger using Pro-e and imported is model in Floefd software and we have run e ermal analysis. By using above process we can do e ermal analysis in less time and our analysis report also most accurate. Parmar [5]: Analyzed e performance of shell and tube type cross counter flow heat exchanger by changing e various parameters like bo hot and cold fluid flow rate, direction of fluid flow. For at e maematical model of counter flow heat exchanger is adopted and also e analysis of e heat exchanger is carried out. He concluded at we get e maximum performance (effectiveness) by decreasing e hot fluid flow and keep e cold fluid flow constant for is particular heat exchanger. Arjun [6].: When e helix angle was varied from 00 to 200 for e heat exchanger containing 7 tubes of outer diameter 20 mm and a 600 mm long shell of inner diameter 90 mm, e simulation shows how e pressure vary in shell due to different helix angle and flow rate. This recorded an effective heat transfer hike by e impact of helical baffle in place of segmental baffle from e numerical experimentation results. The most desirable heat transfer coefficient of e highest order and pressure decline of e lowest order are e result generated in heat exchanger. The unsupported behavior of center row of tubes makes e baffle use ineffective when e baffle angle is above 200. Hence, e helix baffle inclination angle of 200 makes e best performance of shell and tube heat exchanger. B.Jayachandriah1[7]: Design of shell and tube heat exchangers by modeling in CATIA V5, By using ANSYS software, e ermal analysis of Shell and Tube heat exchangers is carried out by varying e Tube materials. From e study of e results after performing e calculation e fluid water for bass output temperature is 310 k which is nearer to e value mentioned in output temperature of ansys. Analysis has been done by varying e tube materials and it is found at copper material gives e better heat transfer rates an e brass material.

3 exchanger containing segmental baffles at different orientations. Three angular orientations 0, 30, and 60 of e baffles were analyzed for laminar flow having e Reynolds number range It was observed at, wi increase of Reynolds number from 303 to 1516, ere was a 94.8% increase in Nusselt number, 282.9% increase in pressure drop and decrease in non-dimensional temperature factor for cold water by 57.7% and hot water by 57.1%, e heat transfer coefficient increases respectively. Vindhya [9]: Simplified model of counter flow shell and tube type heat exchanger to cool water from 55 to 45 by water at room temperature. The design has been done using Kern s meod in order to obtain various dimensions such as shell, tubes, baffles etc. Then e steady state ermal simulation in ANSYS has been performed by applying several ermal loads on different faces and edges. Concluded by comparison at copper if applied to e whole assembly gives e best possible value of heat flux amongst e discussed materials. Secondly e outer surface of shell is generally insulated so at it may be assumed at no heat transfer is taking place in between shell and surroundings. Hence it will be a good deal to assign shell steel and tubes and baffles copper. Chandrakant [10]: The sophisticated and userfriendly computer software using Visual Basic 6.0 (As a Programming Language) is developed for e hydraulic design of shell and tube heat exchangers based on e D.Q. Kern meod by e VB programming language. This software enable e user to predict about e suitability of heat exchanger or service and it has been developed for shell and tube heat exchangers (Rating module) based on e D. Q. Kern meod. Even is meod helps to correct some of e parameters of e heat exchanger. TEMA tables and graphs has been incorporated. Its interactive graphics feature allows e selection of exchanger configurations and change of design conditions to be performed wi ease. Patel[11]: For e optimal design of shell-andtube heat exchangers improved version of Genetic Algorim named Differential Evolution (DE) is used. Design variables: tube outer diameter, tube pitch, tube leng, number of tube passes, no of shell, shell head type, shell layout, baffle spacing and baffle cut are taken for optimization. Bell s meod is used to find e heat transfer area for a given design configuration. A code in C language has been developed for optimum design of shell and tube heat exchanger and it is tested and validated for analytical problems of known results. The solution to examples taken from e literature show how previously reported designs can be improved rough e use of e DE technique presented in is work. Lingala 12]: The objective of e project is to design of shell and tube heat exchanger of counter flow type using PRO E and study e temperature difference and Heat flux using ANSYS software tools. The helix angle of helical baffle varied from 00 to 200. In simulation will show how e temperatures vary in tube wi two different materials (Steel 1008 and FR-4 Epoxy). Steady state ermal analysis results are compared between two materials and conclude at FR-4 epoxy tube transfers more heat when compared to steel. Future scope can be seen by analyzing e composite materials which are having high ermal conductivity and provides efficient flow. Shravan H [13]: In e first part of is paper, a simplified approach to design a Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger for beverage and process industry application is presented. The design was carried out by referring ASME/TEMA standards, available at e company. The design of STHE i.e. ermal and mechanical design was carried out using TEMA/ASME standards bo manually and using software. It is found at design of STHE obtained by bo approaches is very easy, simple, advance & less time consuming as comparing to existing meod used in different Indian industries. P.S.Gowaman[14]: In is project, e analysis of two different baffle in a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger done by ANSYS FLUENT. In is work a model has been developed to evaluate analysis of ermal parameters in Helical and Segmental Baffle Heat Exchanger. From e Numerical Experimentation Results it is confirmed at e Performance of a Tubular Heat Exchanger can be improved by Helical Baffles instead of Segmental Baffles. Reduces Shell side Pressure drop, pumping cost, weight, fouling. The Pressure Drop in Helical Baffle heat exchanger is appreciably lesser as Compared to Segmental Baffle heat exchanger. Bhatt [15]: In is problem of heat transfer involved e condition where different constructional parameters are changed for getting e performance review under different condition. An excel program has been developed for e ease of calculation and obtaining result after changing different parameters. And so e design of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger usually involves a trial and error procedure. In is particular problem e tube metallurgy and baffle spacing are being changed and effect of e same on e heat transfer coefficient has been considered. Higher e ermal conductivity of e tube metallurgy higher e heat transfer rate will be achieved. Less is e baffle spacing, more is e shell side passes, higher e heat transfer but at e cost of e pressure drop. Paresh [16] : Used gas-to liquid and gasto-gas heat transfer applications primarily when e operating temperature and /or pressure is very high or fouling is a severe problem on at least one fluid side and no oer types of exchangers work. CFD analysis has been carried out for different material. From e study of e result after performing e calculation e fluid water e output temperature is 347 C which is near to e value mentioned in output temperature of ansys. 499 Copyright Vandana Publications.

Shell & tube type heat exchangers has been given a great respect among all e classes of heat exchangers due to eir virtues like comparatively large ratios of heat transfer area to volume and weight and many more.

The geometric dimensions used for is are described below in e table- 1, in is step e diameter of e tube is 0.018m and ickness of e tube is 0.003m and e variation in e outlet temperatures has been measured. Table-1 Geometric dimensions for case 1 st Parameters Description Value Heat Exchanger Leng 0.6m Shell Inner Diameter 0.09m Tube Outer Diameter 0.018m Tubes Centre to Centre 0.03m Spacing Inner Diameter of Cold Inlet 0.04m and Outlet Pipe No. of tubes 5 Thickness of tube (m) 0.003m Material of tube Hot fluid temp.

The 27 cases for e different geometry has been considered and e temperatures are obtained rough CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Grid/Mesh generation: Mesh generation is performed in is step and named selection is done in which we have to specify e names for e different faces of inlet and outlet. The different faces or e whole geometry is divided into 4 components: cold inlet, cold Fig-1: Geometric model of shell and tube heat exchanger wi 5 tubes..

RESULTS & DISCUSSION Here e 27 cases has been discussed wi different geometric dimensions in which e no. of tubes, diameter and ickness varied and e temperature at e different points has been taken and analyzed and a graph has been generated at e cold outlet and hot outlet points. The diameter, ickness and no. of tubes for e 27 cases are given in e table-2 below: Fig-3: Graphical representation of run calculations Temperature Contours: The temperature contours shown in e Fig-4 below, as we can see and distinguish e temperature at different locations during e process of heat exchanger in running condition, e color wise distribution of temperature is shown in e picture. The temperature contours are taken at all locations: Cold inlet, Hot inlet, Cold outlet, Hot outlet, Shell and e solid tube walls. And we have got different temperature at every point rough CFD, as heat transfer is going on during e process, heat transferring from hot water to cold water in e heat exchanger and we can find out e average temperature at cold outlet and average temperature at hot outlet, and can analyze e rate of heat transfer.

At is point we always get maximum temperature roughout e cross-section of e tube, and cold outlet temperature is measured at e Centre point of e cold outlet pipe, e Centre point of e shell leng is taken inside e tube and temperature at ese ree points are analyzed. The temperature will be maximum at ese ree points roughout e crosssection of e tube or e pipe. Temperatures at ree points are given in e table-3 below: Table-3 Average temperature for 27 cases (1st to 27) Case no. Average temperature at different points Temp. Temp. at Temp. at at hot outlet cold outlet centre of shell (K) (K) leng (K) st nd rd st nd rd Effect of variation of geometry: The variation of diameter and ickness has been discussed above by keeping e no. of tubes same. Now we are going to check e results for e variation in no. of tubes. The following conclusions can be made after analysis of ese 27 cases for e variation of number of tubes by keeping all oer ings fixed: Considering 1st, 10 and 19 case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 1st case, 7 in 10 case and 9 in 19 case by keeping e ickness 0.003m and diameter 0.018m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 1st case to K in 10 case en again increase to K in 19 case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter of e tube e temperature is decreasing if we go for 7 no. of tubes instead of 5. But increases again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead of 5 and 7. By increasing no. of tubes from 5 to 7 e temperature is decreasing because e surface area of contact between hot and cold fluid is increased by increasing e no. of tubes, and e temperature is increasing by increasing e no. of tubes from 7 to 9 because is change makes e shell area comparatively smaller as we are not increasing e shell diameter or shell leng, So, due to small area for contact of hot and cold fluid make e temperature increase. Considering 2nd, 11 and 20 case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 2nd case, 7 in 11 case and 9 in 20 case by keeping e ickness 0.003m and diameter 0.02m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is increased from K in 2nd case to K in 11 case en again increase to K in 20 case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go for 7 no. of tubes instead of 5. And also increases again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead of 5 and 7. By increasing no. of tubes from 5 to 7 and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 3rd, 12 and 21st case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 3 case, 7 in 12 case and 9 in 21st case by keeping e ickness 0.003m and diameter 0.022m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 3rd case to K in 12 case en again increase to K in 21st case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go for 7 no. of tubes instead of 5. And also increases again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead of 5 and 7. By increasing no. 502 Copyright Vandana Publications. All Rights Reserved.

7 of tubes from 5 to 7 and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 4, 13 and 22nd case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 4 case, 7 in 13 case and 9 in 22nd case by keeping e ickness 0.001m and diameter 0.02m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 4 case to K in 13 case en again increase to K in 22nd case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 5, 14 and 23rd case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 5 case, 7 in 14 case and 9 in 23rd case by keeping e ickness 0.002m and diameter 0.02m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 5 case to K in 14 case en again increase to K in 23rd case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 6, 15 and 24 case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 6 case, 7 in 15 case and 9 in 24 case by keeping e ickness 0.001m and diameter 0.018m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 6 case to K in 15 case en again increase to K in 24 case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 7, 16 and 25 case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 7 case, 7 in 16 case and 9 in 25 case by keeping e ickness 0.002m and diameter 0.018m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 7 case to K in 16 case en again increase to K in 25 case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 8, 17 and 26 case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 8 case, 7 in 17 case and 9 in 26 case by keeping e ickness 0.002m and diameter 0.022m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 8 case to K in 17 case en again increase to K in 26 case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Considering 9, 18 and 27 case e no. of tubes are increased step wise 5 in 9 case, 7 in 18 case and 9 in 27 case by keeping e ickness 0.001m and diameter 0.022m in all ree cases, e temperature at e hot outlet is decreased from K in 9 case to K in 18 case en again increase to 439.3K in 27 case. Hence at is particular ickness and diameter e temperature is increasing if we go again if we are going for e 9 no. of tubes instead and 7 to 9 e temperature is increasing. Hence e heat transfer rate is decreasing wi increase in number of tubes and also decreasing wi increase in e diameter of e tube, but e heat transfer rate is increases wi increasing e ickness of e tubes. V. CONCLUSION From e Computational modeling and simulations of e 27 cases and e temperature distribution at different it can be concluded at: 1. If we keep e no. of tubes and ickness as constant and increasing e diameter of e tubes e temperature is increasing at e outlet of e heat exchanger in every case, performance of e heat exchanger is decreasing by increasing e diameter of e tubes. 2. If we are going to increase e ickness of e tube by keeping e no. of tubes and e diameter constant e temperature at e outlet is decreasing hence e performance of e heat exchanger is increasing by increasing e ickness of e tubes. 3. If we increase e number of tubes e temperature is increasing at e outlet of e heat exchanger in every case, performance of e heat exchanger is decreasing by increasing e number of tubes. Hence e heat transfer rate or performance is decreasing wi increase in number of tubes and also decreasing wi increase in e diameter of e tube, But e heat transfer rate is increases wi increasing e ickness of e tubes. 503 Copyright Vandana Publications.
