A Review on Behavior of Heat Transfer in the Fluid in Shell and Tube Type Heat Exchanger

The primary objective of this literature analysis is to examine the many applications of "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" within the domain of heat exchangers. "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" has been utilized in several investigations relating to heat exchangers, including fluid flow maldistribution, fouling, pressure drop, and thermal analysis during the stages of design and optimization. The simulations conducted demonstrate that the solutions generated from CFD are generally within the permissible range, hence substantiating the efficacy of utilizing CFD as a predictive technique to analyze the behavior and performance of various heat exchangers. This research aims to investigate the potential improvement in heat transfer rate within a heat exchanger by modifications made to its design.
