NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF FLOW FIELDS IN A SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

ABSTRACT
Shell and tube heat exchangers have great thermal stress due to the different fluid temperature and instability of the flow field. In this paper, based on the fluid physical model of shell and tube heat exchanger, the velocity field, pressure field and temperature field inside the heat exchanger are simulated and analyzed on Workbench platform. The numerical simulation shows that the baffle plate has a great influence on the internal flow field of the heat exchanger.
KEYWORDS
