| Summary: | A shell and tube heat exchanger (one shell pass and one tube pass) is a heat
exchange device between hot fluid and cold fluid. It is used widely in process industry
for cooling, heating and heat exchange stream in intercooler and reactor charge heater.
In this project, a model will be designed to remove heat of exhaust gases from a Diesel
Engine (Compression-Ignition). The hot exhaust gas is hot fluid and water is cold fluid.
Several experiments are conducted in laboratory. Initially, experiments are conducted on
the Diesel Engine to find out the range of exhaust gas temperatures and the amount of
cooling water as well. These data served as a guideline for selecting the operating
parameters for the design of suitable heat exchanger. In addition, an analysis of heat
exchanger behavior is made using Solidworks and EFD lab software. The analysis will
develop an awareness of fouling surfaces for heat exchanger. By using EFD lab
software, the model simulation can be predicted before fabrication. The model may be
use as commercialization product for daily application such as making hot beverages. |
