Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Performance of Spiral Baffle Heat Exchangers, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farhadi, Fathollah (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this work, a numerical investigation on shell side performance of a continuous helical baffle helixchanger along with smooth and helically ribbed tubes using CFD commercial code, Fluent, has been performed. The results of simulation for this type of exchanger were compared to a similar heat exchanger with segmental baffles. The geometries are created and meshed using Solidworks and Ansys Meshing softwares, respectively. Mesh generation is carried out using unstructured tetrahedral type elements. Element size (or number of elements) are chosen in such a manner that maintain accuracy and reliability of results in a reasonable run time. Simulation validation were carried out by comparison of...
