Heat Exchanger Shell and Tubes: A Review

[edit]

Introduction

[edit]

In the chemical processes the transfer of heat to and from process fluids is an essential part of most of the chemical processes. Heat exchangers are used extensively and regularly in process in allied industries and are very important during the design and operation. The most commonly used type of HE is the shell and tube heat exchanger. Various strategies of differential evolution (DE) are applied to get the optimal design of shell and tube heat exchanger. The estimation of the minimum heat transfer are required for a given heat duty is the main objective of the studies of HE, as it affects the overall cost of it. Lakhs of configurations are possible and DE, an exceptionally simple evolution strategy has proved itself faster compared to other techniques [2,10]. LMTD correction factor, FT, is used customarily to screen alternative designs for a heat exchanger. In regular practice, designs with unacceptably low FT are discarded. Sometimes economic optimization is needed, there asymptotic energy targets provides the complete optimization space in a heat exchanger network and in this cost optimization of HEN can be performed with only heat recovery approach temperature and number of shells as variables [6,7].

The ability to accommodate temperature cross is directly proportional to the number shell passes, it increases rapidly with it. There are new methods and approaches being found to estimate the number of shells in a shell and tube heat exchanger. This approach based on temperature cross is compatible with the established design procedures and bypass the FT and Xp approach [1]. There are many ways present to improve the heat transfer characteristics of fluid. One such way is addition of certain Nano particles to the base fluid. The Nano fluid γ-Al2O3 was investigated in a designed experimental system and it was found that the heat transfer characteristics of Nano fluids improve with the Peclet number significantly. The Nano fluid has an optimum volume concentration in which the heat transfer characteristics of the base fluids show the maximum enhancement [3,9]. In the designing of the shell and tube heat exchanger computer programming plays a vital role. Computer codes for design are organized to vary systematically the various heat exchanger parameters such as shell

diameter, baffle spacing and pressure drops. The program determines the overall dimensions of the shell and other factors such as optimum heat transfer surface area required to meet the specified heat transfer duty by calculating minimum or allowable shell-side pressure drop [5]. When the behaviour of shell and tube heat exchanger is studied in a transient phase, the difference between the theoretical and experimental results were found to be less than 10%. It is difficult to find the general rules to describe the response of the heat exchanger in any case. If we know the response of heat exchanger to a step of flow rate, it becomes possible to determine the response of HE to any variation of flow rate at the entrance [4,8].

The Primoz Poredos et al. [11] concentrated heat attributes of a concentric-tube helical loop heat exchanger which is a key component in nearby ventilation gadget. Neighborhood ventilation gadget's focal component is concentric tube heat exchanger made of a creased tube surface. By expanding the convective heat exchange coefficient or by expanding the heat exchange surface territory, the heat exchange rate can be expanded. So they have shaped layered tube concentric counter stream heat exchanger which have sinusoidal, wavy surface in longitudinal course of inward tube, which empowers heat exchange upgrade. Wilson plot strategy is utilized to decide convective heat exchange coefficient on inside and outside of internal container of concentric tube heat exchanger with various groove proportions. It is found that most noteworthy heat exchange rate was acquired for most extreme extended tube with groove proportion of 1.401, which empowers more noteworthy viability or a more conservative outline of concentric tube counter stream heat exchanger. In examination with smooth tube, the layered tube had a 1.104-3.955 circumstances higher estimation of heat exchange surface range and furthermore weight drop is 3-3.5 circumstances higher than in smooth tube.

The Hamed Sadighi Dizaji et al. [12] had tentatively examined heat exchange and weight drop attributes for new courses of action of arched and sunken layered tube in a twofold pipe heat exchanger. Both of the internal and external tubes were layered by methods for an exceptional machine. Convective heat exchange coefficient was resolved utilizing Wilson plots. High temp water (internal tube) and frosty water (external tube) bay temperatures were kept up at around 40 degree and 8 degree individually. Examinations were performed over the Reynolds number scope of 3500-18,000, in view of the pressure driven measurement of the annular space between the two tubes. The fundamental reason for this paper to think about a twofold pipe heat exchanger made of folded internal tube and smooth external tube

with a twofold pipe heat exchanger made of ridged inward tube and layered external tube. The outcomes demonstrate that utilization of ridged tubes is favorable to improve the Nusselt number and execution of heat exchanger. It is found that when both of the internal and external tubes were creased, the Nusselt number and grinding element expanded around 23117% and 200-254%, while for just inward tube folded of twofold pipe heat exchanger nusselt number and grating component were expanded up to 10-52% and 150-190% individually.

The Hamed Sadighi Dizaji et al. [13] had done exergy investigation for shell and tube heat exchanger made of ridged shell and folded tube. The primary of this paper is to tentatively elucidate the impact of external tube (shell) foldings on heat exchange rate, dimensionless exergy misfortune and number of heat move units in a shell and tube heat exchanger. Different plans of curved and sunken kind of ridged tube were likewise explored. The outcomes demonstrate that utilization of layered tube as the container of the shell and tube heat exchanger expands the dimensionless exergy misfortune around 4% - 31%, while if both tube and shell are folded, the dimensionless exergy misfortune increments around 17% - 81% .In examination with smooth tube and smooth shell if simply the tube is ridged Number of Transfer Units(NTU) increments around 12% - 19% while if notwithstanding the tube, shell is creased also, the NTU increments around 34% - 60% separately. In this manner most extreme NTU was acquired for the heat exchanger made of ridged tube and layered shell.

The Shinde Digvijay D. et al. [14] concentrated the exploratory examination on heat move in cone molded helical loop heat exchanger. They additionally thought about heat move in cone molded helical curl heat exchanger with basic helical loop heat exchanger. For near examination they utilized both loops with (9.53mm external dia.),(8.41mm inward dia.) and pivotal length of 6096mm. for straightforward helical curl 7 turns and for funnel shaped loop 10 turns with cone point 65. The analysis is led for various stream rates and figurings are completed. It was found that the viability of cone molded helical loop heat exchanger is more when contrasted with straightforward helical curl. If there should arise an occurrence of cone formed helical loop heat exchanger Nusselt no. is higher than basic helical loop. They were found that the heat exchange rate for cone molded helical curl is more when contrasted with basic helical loop. The heat exchange rate for cone formed helical curl is 1.18 to 1.38 circumstances more when contrasted with straightforward helical loop.

The S. Perumal et al. [15] checked on better strategies for improving a heat exchange rate. There are fundamentally two strategies dynamic and uninvolved procedures. They did CFD examination and trial investigations of various strategies like treated surfaces, harsh surfaces, whirling stream gadgets, looped tubes. It is found that heat exchange rate of improved strategies is more noteworthy than that of plane tube. The CFD demonstrating and test comes about demonstrated that an expansion in turbulence force could be one reason for higher execution enlargement techniques with the plain tubes heat exchanger. The consequences of creased tubes, dimpled tubes and wire curls are contrasted and plane tube it is found that treated surfaces are having high heat exchange coefficient

The Rennie and Raghavan [16,20] tentatively explored that two heat exchanger having same sizes and both parallel stream and counterflow designs were tried. Copper tube with ebb and flow proportion 233.5mm is utilized and little openings on the external tubes to guarantee that inward tube is focused, a few perusing are taken for parallel and counter stream course of action it is found that heat exchange rate is vast for counter stream game plan due to extensive log mean temperature distinction. They differed inward and external tubes mass stream rate to alter dignitary number straightly, as senior member number expands heat exchange rate additionally increments.

H. Shokouhmand, M.R. Salimpour, M.A. AkhavanBehabadi [17,19] have done an exploratory examination of the shell and helically curled tube heat exchangers. Three heat exchangers with various loop pitches and ebb and flow proportions were tried for both parallel-stream and counter-stream arrangements. All the required parameters like delta and outlet temperatures of tube-side and shell-side liquids, stream rate of liquids, and so forth were measured utilizing fitting instruments. General heat exchange coefficients of the heat exchangers were ascertained Hot water from hater streams inside the tube where it loses heat to cool water coursing through shell. The section and exit of cool water in shell kept at top so shell ought to be filled totally and finish curl must be drenched in water. The stream of icy water is controlled by rotameter at the passage in shell, this cool water then conveys heat to waste. High temp water mass stream rate controlled after the exit of helical curl. This is done to get parallel stream and counter stream setups. Four thermocouples are utilized to note utilizing Wilson plots. The inward Nusselt numbers were contrasted with the qualities existed in open writing.

Nasser Ghorbani, Hessam Taherian, Mofid Gorji, Hessam Mirgolbabaei [18], Have done a trial examination of the blended convection heat move in a curl in-shell heat exchanger is accounted for different Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers, different tube-to-loop measurement proportions and dimensionless curl pitch. The motivation behind their article was to check the impact of the tube breadth, curl pitch, shell-side and tube-side mass stream rate over the execution coefficient and changed viability of vertical helical looped tube heat exchangers. The estimations have been performed for the unfaltering state and the examinations were directed for both laminar and turbulent stream inside loop. It was found that the mass stream rate of tube-side to shell-side proportion was successful on the pivotal temperature profiles of heat exchanger - Nian Chen, Ji-Tian Han, Tien-Chien Jen.

The exchange of heat between process liquids is a basic piece of most compound procedures. To do such heat exchange process, shell-and-tube heat exchangers are broadly utilized in light of the fact that they are vigorous and can work in an extensive variety of weights, streams and temperatures [21]. The conventional outline approach for shell-and-tube heat exchangers includes rating an expansive number of various exchanger geometries to recognize those that full fill a given heat obligation and an arrangement of geometric and operational imperatives [22]. This approach is tedious, and does not ensure an ideal arrangement. Jegede and Polley [23] revealed a plan approach in view of improved conditions that related the exchanger weight drop, the surface zone and the heat exchange coefficient; their model depended on the Dittus–Boelter relationship for the tube-side stream, and on the Kern connections for the shell-side stream [24]. The blend of the weight drop associations with the essential exchanger plan condition offered ascend to a basic outline calculation that keeps away from the iterative technique required to test diverse geometries. Be that as it may, the utilization of the Kern technique may prompt critical blunders in the estimations as a result of its improved stream design demonstrate for the shell-side. Polley et al. [25] built up a calculation utilizing the Bell–Delaware technique [26] to portray the stream example of the shell-side liquid. The model records for spillage and sidestep streams utilizing the stream display proposed by Tinker [26].

Despite the fact that the model by Polley et al. [25] gives preferred estimations over the one by Jegede and Polley [23], a few deficiencies can be said. With a specific end goal to keep the exactness of the Bell–Delaware strategy, Polley et al. [25] built up a fairly complex relationship for weight drop estimation on the shell-side, which requires an iterative method

that includes point by point estimations of exchanger geometries. The calculation likewise demonstrates some absence of adaptability for the shell-side, since it is confined by the presumptions that cross-stream territories are equivalent to window stream zones, and that the spacing for end puzzles are equivalent to those for the focal astounds. The second geometric limitation disregards situations when substantial bay and outlet spouts make it important to have higher channel and outlet puzzle spacing than focal confound spacing’s [26]. At long last, the calculation does not consider the end weight misfortunes on the tube-side because of compressions at the tube gulfs, developments at the ways out, and stream inversion in the headers.

As of late, Serna and Jimenez [27] displayed a calculation for the thorough plan of segmentally confused shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The calculation makes utilization of the greatest admissible weight drops of both streams without presenting geometric constraints. Specifically, the utilization of two smaller plans for weight drop estimations furnishes a basic calculation with astounding union properties. The shell-side weight drop condition depends on the Bell–Delaware strategy, and the model for the tube-side incorporates the estimation for end impacts. In any case,

This calculation does not unequivocally consider a portion of the geometric and operational limitations frequently forced for exchanger plan, and it just considers the weight drops as advancement factors. In this manner, problematic plan arrangements are regularly gotten.

Chaudhuri and Diwekar [28] utilized reproducing toughening for the ideal plan of heat exchangers, and built up a summon system to connect the HTRI configuration program to the tempering calculation. The creators utilized re-enacting strengthening as an advancement procedure in light of the fact that the HTRI configuration program is a discovery demonstrate, and in this manner express connections for the geometric and operational limitations are not accessible.

Mizutani et al. [29] have as of late exhibited a streamlining system to configuration shell-and-tube heat exchangers utilizing the Bell–Delaware technique to figure the shell-side heat exchange coefficients and weight drops. Mitzutani et al. [29] utilized disjunctive programming systems to get the ideal plan and considered distinctive development options. As a result of the high level of non-linearity and conceivable non-convexities of the Bell–Delawere strategy, inclination strategies, for example, the one utilized by Mizutani et al. [29]

may get caught into nearby ideal arrangements. This work introduces an approach in light of a hereditary calculation (GA) for the ideal plan of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. The approach defeats a portion of the confinements of prior strategies in light of scientific programming methods, and utilizations the Bell–Delaware demonstrate for the shell side of the exchanger.

A few testing issues, for example, environmental change, increment of fuel cost and fuel security have turned out to be hotly debated issues the world over. Accordingly, much consideration has been engaged towards presenting exceptionally proficient gadgets and heat recuperation frameworks for better usage of vitality. Joined State Energy Information Administration [31] revealed that 21.8% quadrillion Btu vitality was devoured by the mechanical segment in 2009.

Teke et al. [32] uncovered that around 26% of the mechanical vitality is squandered as hot gas or liquid. One can envision the conceivable reserve funds got from recouping this vitality by only a little division. Heat recuperation does not just profit regarding vitality and cost sparing additionally lessens the outflow of green-house gasses. Heat recuperation frameworks use heat exchangers to recoup the waste heat. Expansion of balances and increment of the heat exchange region are regularly connected to improve the productivity of the heat recuperation framework. Be that as it may, these methodologies prompt a bigger and cumbersome heat exchanger.

Kulkarni et al. [33] presumed that the utilization of balances and miniaturized scale channels have as of now achieved their point of confinement. The current advances in Nanotechnology have given conceivable outcomes in propelling innovation utilized as a part of the heat exchanger. New era of heat exchange liquids which display higher heat conductivity known as Nano fluids was created by Argonne Laboratory. Nano fluids are suspension of Nano-meter particles in a base liquid.

Saidur et al. [34] checked on extensively the conceivable uses of Nano fluids in motor cooling, transformer cooling, machining process and atomic reactor cooling. It is normal that, the execution of a heat recuperation framework can be incredibly improved by applying this liquid. This review endeavours to research heat and vitality execution of a shell and tube heat recuperation utilizing a Nano fluid based coolant. It concentrates on the recuperating waste heat from pipe gas created by a biomass let go heating plant.

Chen et al. [35] announced that vent gasses from waste to vitality plant frequently contain 15–40% of fuel's heat content. Besides, Saidur et al. [36] closed a lot of heat vitality delivered by consuming fuel is lost through pipe gasses. To our best learning, there is no work concentrating on recuperating waste heat from pipe gas utilizing Nano fluid based coolant. Ethylene glycol and water based coolants were picked since they are usually utilized as a heat exchange liquid. What's more, ethylene glycol gives solidifying assurance because of its lower the point of solidification which is fundamental in chilly atmosphere districts. With respect to copper Nanoparticles, it offers better heat conductivity contrasted with other ordinarily utilized particles. Water, mineral oil and ethylene glycol are frequently utilized as a part of heat exchanger applications, for example, radiators, miniaturized scale channel heat sink, heat pipe and boilers. Regular heat exchange liquids show bring down heat conductivity, which restrict their cooling or heating execution. As of late, heat researchers and architects have been concentrating on enhancing the heat conductivity of base liquids by including Nanoparticles. Extensive specialists have found that Nano fluids offer unrivalled heat conductivity. Heat conductivity of ethylene glycol based copper Nano fluids with 0.3% focus upgraded up to 40% contrasted with that of the base liquid [37].

Liu et al. [38] reasoned that water based copper Nano fluids created from concoction decrease strategies have considerable higher heat conductivity (23.8% higher) than water base liquids. Hwang et al. [39] uncovered that Nanoparticles volume division, Nanoparticle and base liquid heat conductivity have considerable impact on Nano fluids heat conductivity. These writers reasoned that heat conductivity of multiwall carbon Nanotube Nano fluids is practically expanded directly with the expansion of Nanoparticles. Yoo et al. [40] considered Nano fluids heat conductivity arranged by two-stage technique. Heat conductivity of ethylene glycol based zinc oxide (ZnO) Nano fluid increments non-straight with the increase of Nanoparticle volume portions [41]. Nano fluids heat conductivity additionally relies on upon the Nanoparticle measure, volume division and temperature [42].

As of late, Yu et al. [43] found that heat conductivity of ethylene glycol based 5% graphene Nano fluids can be enhanced up to 86% contrasted with that of the base liquid. Heat conductivity of ethylene glycol based silver Nano fluids expanded up to 10%, 16% and 18% as the measure of silver Nanoparticles was at 1000, 5000 and 10000 ppm, individually [30]
