Abstract
In this research, the thermal performance of several shell and tube heat exchanger topologies, including performed tube model and improved altered tube model, has been investigated. Using the results of the simulation, a numerical approach was used to estimate the results for the entire heat exchanger. The internal portions of the improved heat exchanger were modelled in three dimensions. The results demonstrate that flow cannot pass over the fins when modified tubes are employed in place of conventional tubes, which lowers heat exchanger efficiency. Additionally, pressure drop is higher in heat exchangers with modified tubes than it is in the other two types. The inner wall of the heat exchanger was given a protrusion in order to increase efficiency.
