Study the Effect of Inclined Baffles on Shell Side Liquid Flow Pressure Variation for a Small Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger with Hot Tube Side Fluid Flow using CFD Approach

Abstract

The present work is embraced to study the cold fluid flow through the shell compartments and its pressure changes between shell inlet and shell outlet nozzle for an STHX which is implemented with an inclined baffle plate. The work focuses on pressure changes on shell side using Flow Vision, commercially available CFD software. A small
