... are being developed for improved performance [ 23 – 25 ]. Arguably, the most common type of high-temperature and high-pressure HX is the shell-and-tube heat exchanger (STHX) [ 26 , 27 ]. This type consists of a shell with parallel tubes and baffles inside. A fluid flow (tube-side flow) runs inside the tubes...

... and accurate numerical model is developed to predict the performance of shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHXs). Highly accurate correlations reported in Part I of this study are utilized to improve the accuracy of performance predictions, and the concept of volume averaging is used to abstract the geometry...

...Jian-Fei Zhang; Ya-Ling He; Wen-Quan Tao A method for design and rating of shell-and-tube heat exchanger with helical baffles (STHXHB) has been developed in present study based on the public literatures and the widely used Bell–Delaware method for shell-and-tube heat exchanger with segmental...

...B. Peng; Q. W. Wang; C. Zhang; G. N. Xie; L. Q. Luo; Q. Y. Chen; M. Zeng Two shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHXs) using continuous helical baffles instead of segmental baffles used in conventional STHXs were proposed, designed, and tested in this study. The two proposed STHXs have the same tube...

...Qiu-wang Wang; Gong-nan Xie; Bo-tao Peng; Min Zeng The heat transfer and pressure drop of three types of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, one with conventional segmental baffles and the other two with continuous helical baffles, were experimentally measured with water flowing in the tube side...
