Design and Thermal Performance Analysis of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger by Using CFD-A Review

This paper is concerned with the study of shell and tube heat exchanger. Also the factors affecting the performance of shell and tube heat exchanger is studied and its details discussion is given. this paper focuses on the designing of small shell and tube heat exchanger with counter flow arrangement. thermal analysis is carried out considering various parameters such as baffle spacing, baffle inclination, flow rates of hot and cold fluids, tube diameter etc. by using CFD. Some research papers are studied in details and then review from those papers is described in the paper.
