AB - 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.
