Shell and tube heat exchangers in their various construction modifications are probably the most widespread and commonly used basic heat exchanger configuration in the process industries. There are many modifications of the basic configuration which can be used to solve special problems. Baffles serve two functions: Most importantly, they support the tubes in the proper position during assembly and operation and prevent vibration of the tubes caused by flow-induced eddies, and secondly, they guide the shell-side flow back and forth across the tube field, increasing the velocity and the heat transfer coefficient. The objective of this paper is to find the baffle spacing at fixed baffle cut that will give us the optimal values for the overall heat transfer coefficient. To do this Microsoft Excel 2003 package was employed. The results obtained from previous studies showed that to obtain optimal values for the overall heat transfer coefficient for the shell and tube heat exchangers a baffle cut of 20 to 25 percent of the diameter is common and the maximum spacing depends on how much support the tubes need. This was used to validate the results obtained from this study.

Bare Tube

This paper presents simulation results on the geometrical optimization design of bare tube heat exchangers. By linking a mathematical model with an optimization alogorithm, it is possible to predict which combination of five geometrical variables would produce a given coil capacity of a heat exchanger, the minimum core volume size operating at the minimum pressure drop. A constrained multivariable direct search technique is used in which the five geometrical variables and a mixture of five explicit and implicit constraints are accommodated. Using this design method, three typical sizes of bare tube optimization cases have been studied. The simulation results predict significant performance improvements for heat exchanger design. The range of tube outer diameter in this optimization study is from 4.9 to 9.0 mm.

Abstract Shell and tube heat exchangers [STHE] play a very vital role in energy conversion systems, process industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, refineries etc. and in different power plants. For designing shell and tube heat exchangers, the tubes vibrational response (internally) to any random excitations of fluid flow need to be understandable. Also, circumferential inlet pipe or tube at the entrance region of the shell side, generally subject to the fluid thrust in the bends of typical pipe arrangements. It produces loadings forces and moments, leading to unavoidable vibrations. The goal of vibration analysis is to ensure that fatigue damage or fretting wear does not occur, as well as, predicted frequencies, amplitudes shall be within acceptable limits criteria. This paper reports the vibration analysis of different piping arrangement of different end conditions to understand its effects on frequencies and modes so that a designer must mitigate it, at the initial stage. Axial, lateral and torsional vibrations are analyzed for different end conditions. The boundary conditions used are both ends fixed, one end fixed and other end free, both ends free and one end fixed-other end attached to a weight. Analytical procedure is carried out to determine the frequencies for axial, lateral and torsional cases. FEA analysis and experiment using an FFT analyzer is carried out to check the convergence of the results. Very useful results are established which generates the philosophy to protect the pipings from the resonant frequencies subjected to different end conditions.
