Abstract
In this paper, an optimized model of Shell and Tube Parallel Flow Heat Exchanger of water and oil type is proposed using C++ programming language. Shell and tube heat exchangers are of special importance in boilers, oil coolers, condensers, pre-heaters etc. They are also used in high pressure operations, refrigeration and air conditioning industry and process applications. In this paper, a number of practical cases of shell and tube heat exchangers are taken and the analysis of thermal and constructional design of every case is done. The optimised design is obtained by minimising the pressure drop by maximising the heat exchanger area to reduce pumping and running cost. Also considering that large sizes lead to increased capital cost, heat exchanger area is also optimised to overcome this problem. Effect of design parameters on pressure drop and heat exchanger area is also explained.
