Abstract

The shell & tube heat exchanger is used throughout various industries because of its inexpensive cost and handiness when it comes to maintenance. However, it has many design elements such as the location and the shape of inlet and outlet, the numbers of tubes and baffles, etc. Also, the flow within the shell and the heat transfer are complex. This paper is performed numerical analysis to evaluate capabilities of difference in temperature and pressure drop, which are the performance of channel heat exchanger, one of different types of shell & tube exchanger. Also, factors that affect the performance of channel heat exchanger were selected through design of experiment along with key factors.
