SHELL-AND-TUBE

Oil refineries fractionate components by exploiting their boiling point differences. This process is energy intensive, requiring the oil to be heated to temperatures up to 750 °F. Heat exchangers are critical to recovering the heat input and to making the process more efficient and economical. Because of their key role in...

Recent experiments performed in the Multi-purpose Visualization Unit (MVU) analyzed the dependence of shellside phase separation on exchanger geometry. During this webinar, we discuss the variation of the stratified to non-stratified transition boundary with exchanger geometry, applicable over a wide range of flow regime parameters....

We completed a multiphysics computational simulation of a shell-and-tube exchanger, where simultaneous fluid flow and heat transfer of both fluid streams occurred. Temperature-induced mechanical stress also acted on the solid structures. A weak coupling of a finite-volume CFD Navier-Stokes model with a finite-element computational solid mechanics model underlies the multiphysics simulation....
