What is Shell and Tube heat exchanger?

A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger is a type of heat exchanger widely used in various industrial processes to transfer heat between two fluids. It consists of a shell (a cylindrical vessel) and multiple tubes inside it. The two fluids flow in opposite directions, with one flowing inside the tubes (the tube-side fluid) and the other flowing outside the tubes but inside the shell (the shell-side fluid). Heat is exchanged between these two fluids through the tube walls.

What is the Significance of Tube Side Heat Transfer Coefficient?

Tube Side Heat Transfer Coefficient quantifies how effectively heat is exchanged between the fluid inside the tubes (tube-side fluid) and the fluid outside the tubes (shell-side fluid) in a Heat Exchanger. Tube Side Heat Transfer Coefficient depends on parameters such as Reynolds Number, Prandlt Number and Thermal Conductivity of Tube Side Fluid.
