Schematic Approach On Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger With Ceramic Coating Using Cfd Approach

This project presents an attempt to optimize a shell and tube heat exchanger. Heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. Of the various types of heat exchangers used in various industries, the shell and tube heat exchanger is probably the most versatile and widely used in most industrial sectors. This project captures the optimization of the total annual operating cost together with structural and CFD optimization Ceramic heat exchanger is one which can with stand high temperatures ranging from 600-1000oC .Ceramic heat exchanger has low material cost and also it can withstand high temperatures compared to metallic heat exchanger. Due to this reason it is important to predict the performance of ceramic heat exchanger, before it gets fabricated .In this project CFD analysis is performed on the ceramic heat exchanger having rectangular and circular ducts where aluminum nitride is used to predict and optimize various parameters like heat transfer rate and effectiveness.
