Abstract

The scope of our project is to increase the effectiveness of the shell and tube heat exchanger by attaching circular fin. Hence by using circular fin contact area is increased which leads to more heat transfer. Fins are attached to retain the heat for a certain period of time. We use both shell and tube fluid as water, Ethylene Glycol and propylene Glycol Shell carries cold water and tube carries hot water. Baffles are arranged inside shell for structural rigidity and to divert the flow across the bundle to get high heat transfer coefficient. Tube bundle is arranged in triangle pitch pattern to get high effectiveness. After the fabrication process the equipment has been tested for different temperature and different mass flow rate. Mass flow rate of both hot water and cold water is varied to get optimum effectiveness of heat exchanger.
