Abstract
Shell and tube heat exchangers are the most common type of heat exchangers which are widely used in industrial applications. The pressure drop prediction on the shell side of a shell and tube heat exchanger is quite complicated due to taking into account of the presence of bypass and leakage streams. The Bell-Delaware method reflects the effects associated with leakage and bypass streams on the shell side pressure drop. The simulation results show that the shell side pressure drop for tube layout of 90o is lower than that of the other cases. In addition, The lower allowable pressure drop for tube side is obtained from tube layout of 90o. Finally, it is found that the overall heat transfer coefficient and surface area for tube layout of 90o are higher than the other cases.
