Abstract
All industrial applications use a heat exchanger as a device for transferring heat in both cooling and heating processes. Heat exchangers can be divided into several types but the present study focuses on shell and tube heat exchangers (STHX). Nowadays, the STHX type is preferable due to its capacity to transfer heat in a large amount. The present study aims for optimum design parameter identification for the baffles of STHX. The STHX with newly designed baffle was analyzed for its performance in terms of the rate of pressure drop and the heat transfer coefficient of STHX.
