Abstract

This study serves as an example of an effort to raise the effectiveness of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. A device that transfers heat from a single fluid into another is one definition of a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers come in a variety of forms, but those with shells and tubes are some of the most adaptable and widely utilised. This project optimises the structural and CFD components while also taking the entire yearly operating cost into account. As a result, research has been done to establish the ideal heat exchanger size in relation to a certain set of input characteristics and the required outputs at the outlet. Three phases of optimisation were used for the heat exchanger: (1) a mathematical model-based thermal study; (2) ANSYS nozzle optimisation with structural loads; and (3) ANSYS CFD analysis. Every technique made use of the ANSYS software. Due to the fact that each of the the necessary variables have been obtained from recognised standards and guidelines in the industry, the optimisation issue has now taken on a more realistic form.
