Abstract

The shell and tube heat exchanger is a condenser type heat exchanging device it can be used in thermal power plant, oil and gas industries in this shell side baffle support is used to holding the tubes and create the turbulence flow in the shell side it will increase the heat transfer rate, the baffles are classified as a single segmented, double segmented and triple segmented which is used to reduce the pressure drop, in this research heat transfer rate and pressure drop in the single, double and triple segmented heat exchanger analysis through CFD Methodology, and it was concluded with double segmented get higher heat transfer coefficient and higher pressure outlet.
