Abstract

Abstract: The shell-and-tube heat exchanger's geometric configuration is optimized during the design development phase by taking into account various aspects like baffle spacing, tube arrangement, and overall system integration. Incorporating a blower into the system results in improved air circulation and effective heat transfer. By placing the band heater in a strategic location, air is heated precisely and locally, which helps to create a more responsive and controlled heating process. One essential tool for assessing the system's thermal and fluid dynamics is CFD analysis. The heat exchanger, blower, and band heater components' fluid flow patterns, temperature distributions, and pressure gradients are investigated through simulations. The CFD analysis provides valuable insights that guide design modifications aimed at optimizing heat transfer rates, minimizing pressure drops, and improving the integrated system's overall performance
