Heat exchangers are used to transfer thermal energy from one type of liquid or steam source to another kind of liquid source at a wide range of facilities. Whether heating a space or some type of ...

Abstract: Wear analysis has been carried out on aluminum tube in parallel triangular tube bundle with P/D ratio of 1.45 and the baffle plate placed at the mid-span of the bundle. The cross-flow ...

Shell and tube heat exchangers are commonly used in the chemical processing industry. They can be used to heat up chemicals to speed up reactions or cool down products to reduce waste heat or to ...

Shell and tube exchangers consist of tubes, the ends of which are secured in tubeplates, all contained within a cylindrical shell. In designing an exchanger, care must be taken to: ensure that ...
