Abstract
This study focuses on the various
experimental research analyses on performance of
tubular heat exchangers the tubular heat exchanger is
used throughout various industries because of its
inexpensive cost and handiness when it comes to
maintenance. In this paper we discus about tubular heat
exchanger there are several thermal design factors that
are to be taken into account when designing the tubes in
the tubular heat exchangers. They are tube diameter,
tube length, number of tubes, number of baffles,& baffles
inclination etc. The characteristics of flow and heat
transfer within the shell are not simple. This paper
conducted various experimental analyses to predict the
characteristics of difference in temperature and pressure
drop, which are the performances of heat exchanger. In
this study, the diameter of tube, the number of tubes and
the number of baffles are considered as the design
factors. Also, factors that affect the performances of heat
exchanger were selected through design of experiment
procedures. The purpose of this paper is how to improve
the performance of tubular heat exchangers.
