Experimental Study on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Characteristcs of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger using hiTRAN Wire Inserts

Heating and cooling process of fluid streams is a standard operation in petrochemical and other industries. This operation is often performed in heat exchangers where the hot or cold fluid flows inside and outside the tubes. Shell and tube heat exchangers are most widely used in practical applications. They are also having special importance in process industries as well as in refrigeration and air conditioning industries. The analysis of heat exchanger performance is difficult, since it involves both forced and natural convection heat transfer due to the complex mechanisms conditions are considered. Heat transfer in case of laminar flow (Re < 2000) regimes is normally low but can be enhanced by the use of tube inserts or tabulators.
