Parametric Study of Various Coolants by Using Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Abstract

in order to maintain the lube oil properties constant. This is critical in nature, as any variation in the designed lube oil temperature will affect the oil film thickness between turbine shaft and bearings resulting in mal-operations of turbine rotor.

The thermal analysis of   shell and tube Heat Exchanger is desired with the bell manual method and for the same the numerical Analysis have been carried out based on the prescribed pressure drop criteria. The thermal analysis of shell and tube Heat Exchanger and performance of evaluation is presently established technique used in power plant industry. In this project the thermal analysis on various tube fluids flow pressure drop variations for shell and tube heat Exchanger are obtained. The pressure drop values for shell and tube heat Exchanger are obtained by using “MAT LAB” and compared with Bell Manual Method values.
