CHE 391
Objective:
Study of heat transfer in Shell and Tube heat exchanger.

Introduction:
Heat Exchanger is device that facilitates heat exchange between two or more fluids.
They are used wherever efficient heat energy transfer is required particularly petrochemical plants, petroleum refinery, natural gas processing, air conditioners and refrigerators, sewage treatment etc. Considering wide spectrum it swaps , the device is a necessity in most of the industrial applications.

Categorization:
Broadly Heat Exchanger can be classified in six types: (Ref. Shah 1981)
1)According to transfer process
• Indirect Contact Type
• Direct Contact Type
2)According to no. of fluids
• Two fluid
• More than two fluids
3)According to surface compactness
• Gas to fluid
• Liquid to Liquid and Phase Change
4)Construction Type
• Tubular
• Plate Type
• Extended Surface
• Regenerative
5)On basis of flow arrangements
• Single Pass
• Multipass
6)Heat Transfer Mechanisms

Theory:
Transfer type heat exchanger uses two fluids and head conduction is through the wall
(separation between two fluids). Transfer type heat exchanger is used in the lab, more specifically Multipass Heat Exchanger. One of the fluid passes through tube while the other uses shell as it 's transfer medium.

Principle used is conservation of Heat Energy.
Heat lost by the hot fluid (qh) =Heat gained by the cold fluid (qc) qh=mcCpc(Tco-Tci) Qavg=(qc+qh)/2
U=Qavg/(AaΔTm)

Experimental Setup
The experiment setup uses 1-2 Pass Shell and Tube heat exchanger. There are two types of flows- 1) Utility flow (hot water here)
2) Processed flow (tap water here)
Hot water is heated in a reservoir through heating coils and pumped through a magnet driven light duty pump into the tubes and cold water flows through shell. Fluid flow is controlled through the rotometer.
Technical Details(Lab Manual, Che 391)
Shell: Material SS, ID 146mm, length 500mm with 4, 25% cut baffles
Tube: 24 Nos, Material

    Economists and world political leaders utilize a method of keeping track of their final goods, products and services done within a year called the Gross Domestic Product. It also defines the economic heartbeat of a country by the ebb and flow of how the country as a whole is producing goods products and services including imports and exports. The Real and Nominal Gross Domestic product values are the a more inflated and direct answer for knowing approximately what the value of the countries dollar value are based upon from a period of time and values without inflation being accounted for. The Unemployment rate is the amount of individuals to a country who are currently unemployed or without work who are engaged in searching for employment or values of work. The Definition of Inflation is the rate at which the general level of the prices for goods and services rising, and, subsequently, buying power is drops. This is seen most commonly with examples of buying a loaf of bread 10 years ago versus the present value for a loaf of bread. Interest rates are a value of an item in a percentage where principal is loaned from a lender to a borrower for the use of an asset usually measured in an annual percentage rate (APR) For an example, an individual borrows $100 Dollars from a financial institution at a rate of 10% APR, for every year borrowed $10 dollars would be added to the amount owed back.…
