Online mechanical characterization of a shell and tube heat exchanger

This paper is concerned with brief study and real time implementation of shell & tube (straight) heat exchanger for analysis of different mechanical parameters involved in it. The efficient analysis of these parameters enables the knowledge of functioning and influence overall thermo hydraulic performance. The impact of losses in the system effects the design. So it is important to consider the system losses while designing real time apparatus. This paper depicts parameters and losses in the shell and tube heat- exchanger. Result analysis via real time shows the efficiency of existing model
