Design And Operation Ofa Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger

INTRODUCTIONThe most common type of heat exchanger used in industry contains a number of parallel tubes enclosed in a shell and is thus called a shell and tube heat exchanger.  These heat exchangers are employed when a process required large quantities of fluid to be heated or cooled.  Due to their compact design, these heat exchangers contain a large amount of heat transfer area and also provide a high degree of heat transfer efficiency.Over the years, many different types of shell and tube heat exchangers, have been designed to meet various process requirements.  In the indust…
