Abstract
The disc and doughnut baffles in the shell and tube heat exchangers can be superior alternatives over the conventional segmental baffles. In this paper, CFD modeling and analysis were carried out to determine the attributes of transferring heat in STHX with disc and doughnut baffles. The simulation results were obtained by varying the inlet mass flow rates (0.5, 1 and 2 kg/s). The results showed that shell side outlet temperature decreased and the heat transfer coefficient increased as the inlet mass flow rate was increased. The simulation results were validated by the analytical calculations. This investigation shows that the disc and doughnut baffles provided a better alternative with superior features.
