Cfd Analysis on Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger in Parallel and Counter Flow Direction
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
A Heat Exchanger is a device which is used to transfer heat from one fluid to another, whether the fluids are separated by a solid wall so that they never mix, or the fluids are directly in contact. Every year Heat exchanger technology is growing to develop efficient, compact and economical heat exchangers, all over the world. Updating the community for this development needs an interaction. These days concentric tube heat exchangers are used with forced convection for lowering the working fluid’s temperature by raising the cooling medium’s temperature.The purpose of this project is to use ANSYS FLUENT 17.1 software and theoretical calculations to analyse the temperature drops as a function of both inlet velocity and inlet temperature and how each varies with the other. Each heat exchanger model was designed and simulated for both parallel flow and counter flow heat exchanger models. The results were compared between parallel and counter flow heat exchangers. CFD analysis was utilized to find the outlet temperatures of parallel and counter flow heat exchangers for the inlet velocity and inlet temperature of the fluid medium used. "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a science of predicting fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, and related phenomena by solving the mathematical equations which govern these processes using a numerical processes". These outlet temperature values obtained were used to determine the overall heat transfer coefficient. Theoretical calculations are done by the values obtained through the experiment conducted on the heat exchanger setup for both parallel and counter flow.
