MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF HEAT EXCHANGER

Shell and tube heat exchangers in their various construction modifications are probably the most widespread and commonly used basic heat exchanger configuration in the process industries. The modelling of the heat exchanger has done by using the advanced design software CATIA. In this project the Heat Exchanger is modelled and assembled with the help of CATIA and the component is meshed and analysis is done in ANSYS software and the thermal and static behaviour is studied and the results are tabulated. The various stresses acting on the Heat Exchanger under various loading conditions has been studied. In the preset work has been taken up on the following aspects to cover the research gaps and to present the results based on the systematic studies. Temperature distribution and heat flow through the Heat Exchanger. FEA analysis of the Heat Exchanger to measure temperature at the points where it is not possible to find out practically and to observe the heat flow inside the Heat Exchanger. Key Words: Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger, Catia,and Ansys Softwares, Static and Thermal behavior, and FEA Analysis.
