摘要
In the present work, numerical investigations are conducted with 22 % cut segmental baffle heat exchanger (SB), 20°, 30°, and 40° helical baffles shell and tube heat exchangers (STHX) to estimate the overall heat transfer coefficient (OHTC), pressure drop (PD) and friction factor. Among the studied heat exchangers (HE), 40° helical baffles STHX provided the highest OHTC with minimum pressure drop. Hence, further investigations are conducted experimentally with 40° helical baffles STHX. OHTC increased by 2.65 % for 20° helical baffles, 5.37 % for 30° helical baffles, 9.78 % for 40° helical baffles when compared with 22 % cut segmental baffle heat exchanger. The deviation between experimental and numerical OHTC is 2.64 % 40° helical baffles. © 2024 the author(s), published by De Gruyter.
