Abstract
Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers are kind of equipment which are used in practical applications that it has to deliver optimum performance in terms of high efficiency, high heat transfer rate, less losses, low cost, etc. In the heat exchanger “Entransy” determines how efficient the system is to deliver the work and transfer the heat. Likewise, “Ecological function” defines how effectively it affects the environment. In this paper, the shell and tube heat exchanger is studied for an ecological and total cost viewpoint. The effect of various geometric parameters such as tube diameter, shell diameter, pitch, etc. on the ecological and total cost is studied and discussed. By performing the parametric analysis, optimum value of each variable is obtained from a predefined range and at that value highest ecological function value and lowest cost values are obtained. The main motive of this research study is to analyze the effect of geometric variables on the cost as well as output of the heat exchanger. In that way the proposed study helps to identify the important design variable of the heat exchanger.
