NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF DOUBLE PIPE HEAT EXCHANGER WITH DIFFERENT HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS

Abstract

Heat exchangers are the most useful systems which are being used in different industries now-a-days as a purpose of cooling in order to prevent the damages of the various equipment and volatile substances from overheating. Double Pipe Heat Exchangers are very popular among various types of heat exchangers for their flexible manufacturing and low cost for implementation and maintenance. As a result, various researches have been done on the basis of performance analysis of double pipe heat exchangers. This experimentation is simulation based and has been done on Solidworks 2020. The primary motive of this experiment is to evaluate the heat transfer performance of double heat exchanger with variation of fluid temperatures and Reynold's No. The pressure drop behavior of DPHE has also been studied. Thus, the efficiency of double pipe heat exchangers has also been examined.
