Abstract: 

Heat exchangers enable processing plants to maintain maximum performance over time when handling variable process conditions. The most frequent heat exchanger issues, however, can occasionally be far more challenging to fix, resulting in high capital expenses and rising running costs. Consequently, there is a crucial need to redesign the current heat exchanger for improved performance. In this work, a shell and tube-type heat exchanger is designed with the help of CREO 8.0 parametric software. Transient thermal analysis is done to the designed model using ANSYS 2022 R2 software to investigate different shell and tube heat exchanger materials and assess the heat exchanger for its efficiency and temperature gradient. These results can be used to design appropriate heat exchangers in stationary energy systems, including power plants and fuel cell systems.

1. Introduction

A variety of industries, including power generation, oil and gas refineries, industry, ships, and on-road and off-road machinery, energy systems use hell and Tube heat exchangers because they are strong, dependable, and available in a range of sizes, from large custom-built units like feedwater heaters to small off-the-shelf hydraulic oil coolers [1]. Heat exchangers made of shell and tube have a long lifespan, no moving parts, and minimum maintenance needs. Nevertheless, it is imperative to treat them with care, as these vital machines are exposed to various risks that could affect their ongoing optimal performance. A heat exchanger malfunction or failure could frequently result in a total shutdown of operations [2]. One can choose from various heat exchanger designs, such as tubular, double-pipe, flat plate, spiral, and coil designs. Numerous factors influence the choice of a heat exchanger design [3, 4]. The majority of heat exchangers are categorized based on the way they are made, how they transmit heat, and how compact their surfaces are [5]. About the physical size, that is the amount of surface area where the heat can escape or be transferred [6]. Heat exchangers are designed explicitly for improved performance and minimized thermal fatigue during the operation.

Various research articles were studied from the literature to redesign the existing shell and tube heat exchangers. Baydaa et al. [7] presented a design for an oil cooler with a baffle for induced turbulence and higher heat transfer coefficient. The heat transfer rate is high with less stress for brass material with baffle, and the drop in pressure on shell and tube side and heat transfer coefficients were observed with a variation of 4.4%, 6.3% and 2.7% and match with HTRI software. Rajkamal et al. [8] presented the thermal analysis of the replaceability of copper with POCO HTC graphite and ASTM SA 179 carbon steel for the inner tubes of a helical coil heat exchanger modeled with a helix angle of 30°. It is inferred from ANSYS CFX that POCO HTC graphite conducts heat better and has high corrosion resistance. Moreover, it was found that for constant temperature with varied increasing mass flow rates, the heat transfer characteristics also increase. Andrea et al. [9] conducted a preliminary quantitative analysis of intermediate- size heat exchangers using reference design data from the SAMOFAR H2020-Euratom project. Hypotheses were developed on intermediate loop temperatures, and a safety margin was identified to avoid the solidification of the fuel salt. Surender Kumar [10] has carried out a design model of a counterflow shell and tube-type heat exchanger where water acts as the working fluid and is done by Kern's method and the regulations of the tubular exchanger manufacturer's association. It was found that the results of the analysis and experiment were within the same range, and the effectiveness value was 0.333(copper material). Jakka et al. [11] have presented entropy reduction with constrained thermodynamic optimization in a parallel flow heat exchanger for materials like mild steel, stainless steel and nickel. It is concluded that the design parameters were verified as the entropy minimization was done successfully. Sousa et al. [12] have exhibited the capability of integrated bypass-flow surface heat exchangers to withstand innovative engine architecture's high cooling demands. The bypass section of a turbo-fan engine resulted in 76% of the current aero-engine cooling demand at plane take-off conditions, and cooling fluctuations were below 10% during the full flight range. Dhavamani et al. [13] fabricated by casting the shell and tube type heat exchanger with the helical angle of 30˚ and calculated the effectiveness of heat transfer. The components were designed using the Kerns method to reduce water temperature from 85℃ to 55℃. The effectiveness was increased by 10% when they used the spiral tube compared to the parallel flow heat exchanger, and the heat transfer rate increased. Jamshak et al. [14] have redesigned the conventional heat exchanger to a plate-type heat exchanger to improve performance and reduction of cost. The new design occupies less space than the regular heat exchanger. By increasing the number of plates, the performance has also been increased, and the reduced cost is about Rs 3,60,000/, which was found to be a safe and secure implementation method. Ashish et al. [15] investigated refinery processes happening in a double-pipe heat exchanger using CFD analysis in ANSYS. The fins of the heat exchanger were organized in a way that works as a baffle plate, in turn, guides the fluid inside the shell of the heat exchanger. It is reported that as the fin thickness increases, cold fluid temperature increases, and there is little change in the pressure and velocity. Santhisree et al. [16] have presented the study of thermal analysis of shell and tube-type heat exchangers in ANSYS fluent 15.0. Kerns method was adopted to do the preliminary design of the component. The model predicts the heat transfer and pressure drop with an error of 25%, which has scope for improvement. Gupta et al. [17] presented the utilization of shell and tube heat exchangers with three materials: aluminium, steel and copper. It is reported that copper gave the best result compared to aluminium and steel based on temperature and effectiveness. Saydam et al. [18] have modeled, fabricated and analyzed experimentally for thermal storage performance under various working conditions for a miniature PCM helical coil heat exchanger. Inlet temperature increased from 70℃ to 75℃, reducing the charging time by 21% and increasing the flow rate from 0.5 to 4 L/min. Sharma et al. [19] studied the thermal analysis of water and oil-type shell and tube heat exchangers. They proposed theoretical formulas for a real-life problem of counter flow shell and tube type heat exchanger, using the calculation. The thermal analysis results for copper and stainless steel have an error difference of 0.023 in effectiveness. Patel et al. [20] have carried out the thermal analysis of tube-type heat exchanger with Ansys (CFD analysis) for two materials - copper and aluminium - the effect of the materials has been examined. The analysis used hot and cold water with 90°C and 27℃ temperatures and 2 Kg/sec and 40 Kg/Sec mass flow rates. It was reported that aluminium provides higher heat transfer rates. Several other research highlight the various possibilities of heat transfer [21, 22].

From the literature, it was understood that a comparison study of analysis between various heat exchangers was not done[23, 24]. In the present study, modeling of the heat exchanger was done. Thermal analysis is then performed on the heat exchanger for various materials using ANSYS 2022 R2 software. The alignment of the tubes is also changed and analyzed.

2. Methodology

The present study involves designing and analyzing shell and tube-type heat exchangers for improved effectiveness. There are 58 unique components in the shell and tube-type heat exchanger selected for design and analysis. The existing design was studied, and each component was designed and assembled using CREO Parametric 8.0 software. The assembled component was imported in ANSYS 2022 R2 workbench software to conduct a Transient thermal analysis of the heat exchanger with necessary boundary conditions, appropriate working fluid and material selections. The thermal design parameters like flow rate, inlet temperature, outlet temperature, heat flux, temperature distribution, heat transfer coefficient of the materials, heat recovery efficiency, and pressure drop and the mechanical design parameters like wall thickness of the shell, U-tube, channels were taken into considerations for the analysis. In a heat exchanger, the energy flows from the hot fluid through the barrier and into the cold fluid. To account for this, the total thermal resistance (K/W) is given by Eq. (1) [19],

$\begin{gathered}R=R i+R w a l l+R o \\ R=(1 / h i A i)+\ln (D o / D i) / 2 \Pi k l+(1 / h o A o)\end{gathered}$         (1)

$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{wall}}=$ Thermal resistance of wall $(\mathrm{K} / \mathrm{W})$

$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{i}}=$ Thermal resistance inside the wall $(\mathrm{K} / \mathrm{W})$

$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}=$ Thermal resistance outside the wall $(\mathrm{K} / \mathrm{W})$

$\mathrm{k}=$ Thermal conductivity $\left(\mathrm{Wm}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right)$

$\mathrm{L}=$ Length of the tube $(\mathrm{m})$

$A_0=$ Area of the outer surface of the wall $\left(\mathrm{m}^2\right)$

$A_i=$ Area of the inner surface of the wall $\left(\mathrm{m}^2\right)$

$\mathrm{h}=$ Heat transfer coefficient $\left(\mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^2 / \mathrm{K}\right)$

The proportionality constant is the material's thermal conductivity [19].

$Q=-k A$         (2)

In Eq. (2), Q is the rate of heat transfer $(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{s}), \mathrm{k}$ is the material's thermal conductivity $\left(\mathrm{Wm}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right), \mathrm{A}$ is the area normal to the direction of the flow of heat $\left(\mathrm{m}^2\right)$, and $\mathrm{dT} / \mathrm{dx}$ is the temperature gradient. Convection is the fluid's bulk motion against the wall's surface, thus transferring thermal energy. This phenomenon is represented by Newton's Law of Cooling, which states that the rate of heat loss is proportional of a body to the difference in the temperature of the body and its surroundings [19].

$Q=h A \Delta T$  (3)

In Eq. (3), ' $Q$ ' is the rate of heat transfer $(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{s})$, ' $A$ ' is the area normal to the direction of the flow of heat $\left(\mathrm{m}^2\right)$, and ' $\Delta T$ ' is the temperature difference between the wall and bulk fluid. The convective heat transfer coefficient is denoted by ' $h$ '.

2.1 Preliminary Modeling

A 636 mm flange and cylinder tube body of the heat exchanger are attached. Two lifting lug plates are attached to the body of the model. The identification plate is also fixed on the body of the heat exchanger. A shell cover is fixed to the other side of the cylindrical tube. A support saddle and a mobile support saddle are fixed to the model for standing support. The shell sub-assembly and tube subassembly was done by bending the tube sheet, and thirty spacer tubes of various diameter were attached with baffle plates in between. Sixty-eight tubes are attached to the tube sheets. The tube sub- assembly and the shell sub-assembly are assembled in the software CREO Parametric 8.0.8.0 assembly environment. The assembly of the preliminary model is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Isometric view of heat exchanger modeled on CREO parametric

Since the volume of components is vast, a quarter model consisting of 10 clusters of tubes is chosen to perform the transient thermal analysis in ANSYS workbench software. CREO 8.0.8.0 parametric software was used to model the redesigned heat exchanger, as shown in Figure 2.

2.2 Transient thermal analysis

Transient thermal analysis was performed on the heat exchanger shown in Figure 2 and studied the temperature gradient acting on it using ANSYS 2022 R2 – workbench software. In the ANSYS 2022 R2 workbench software, transient thermal analysis option, engineering data source, material, and aluminium were selected. The already modeled file of the quarter model was uploaded in geometry, and aluminium material was assigned to all the U-tubes. To build a numerical model, the mesh was generated, and in the sizing option, the fine mesh was selected based on the mesh independence study. The transient thermal option was selected, and the boundary condition temperature was inserted. Boundary conditions: 

Condition 1: (hot water passing through the tube)

The temperature of hot water inside the tube $\left(\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{hi}}\right)=90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The temperature of cold water in the shell $\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{ci}}\right)=27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Condition 2: (cold water passing through the tube)

The temperature of cold water inside the tube $\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{ci}}\right)=27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The temperature of hot water in the shell $\left(t_{\text {hi }}\right)=90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

Meshing details:

Number of nodes =78043

Elements =31343

2.3 Redesigning of the heat exchanger

All the primary dimensions are designed for the following requirements of the heat exchanger.

The temperature of hot water inside the tube, $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{hi}}=90^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The mass flow rate of hot water, $\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{h}}=2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$

The mass flow rate of coolant, $\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{c}}=40 \mathrm{Kg} / \mathrm{s}$

Specific heat of water, $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{h}}=4180 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{KgK}$

The temperature of hot water after cooling the tube, $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{ho}}=70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The temperature of coolant inside the shell, $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Ci}}=27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The inner diameter of the tube, $\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{i}}=41.89 \mathrm{~mm}$

Specific heat of coolant, $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}=2500 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{KgK}$

Heat transfer rate, $Q=M \quad{ }_h C \quad{ }_h \Delta T \quad{ }_h=3344 \mathrm{~kW}$

To find the temperature of coolant after cooling using Eq. (4), $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{co}}[19]$

$Q=\operatorname{McCc} \Delta T c===\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{co}}=\quad \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Ci}^2}+\quad \mathrm{Q} / \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{c}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{c}}=60.44^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ (4)

Log mean temperature difference [19],

$\Delta T_{\mathrm{lm}}=\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{ho}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{co}}\right)-\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{hi}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Ci}}\right) / \ln \left(\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{ho}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{co}}\right) /\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{hi}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{Ci}}\right)\right)$      (5)

$\begin{aligned} & \Delta T_{\operatorname{lm}}=-53.44 /-1.885=28.3419 \mathrm{~K} \\ & \text { Overall heat transfer, } \mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{UA} \Delta T_{\operatorname{lm}}=\Delta T_{\operatorname{lm}} / \mathrm{R}_{\text {tot }} \\ & \mathrm{R}_{\text {tot }}=\Delta T_{\operatorname{lm}} / \mathrm{Q}====>28.3419 \mathrm{~K} / 3344 \mathrm{KW} \\ & =0.008475 \mathrm{~K} / \mathrm{W}\end{aligned}$        (6)

Another way to find total thermal resistance $R_{\text {tot }}$, is with a pipe wall, which is in contact with both hot and cold liquid. Since it's a thin-walled pipe, it is assumed that no conduction is carried out.

Convection heat transfer from the hot side $=\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{i}}=700 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~K}$

Heat transfer from the cold side is $h_0=1300 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~K}$

Fouling factors due to buildup formed on the tube of the heat exchanger is $=0.0002 \mathrm{~m}^2 \mathrm{~K} / \mathrm{W}$

$\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{R}_{\text {tot }}=\left(1 / \mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{A}\right)+\left(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{fi}} / \mathrm{A}\right)+\left(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{fo}} / \mathrm{A}\right)+\left(1 / \mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{o}} \mathrm{A}\right)=0.0026 / \mathrm{A}\left(\mathrm{m}^2 \mathrm{~K} / \mathrm{W}\right) \\& 0.008475 \mathrm{~K} / \mathrm{W}=0.0026 / \mathrm{A} \\& \mathrm{A}=0.0026 / 0.008475=0.306 \mathrm{~m}^2 \\& \Pi \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{L}=0.306 \mathrm{~m}^2 \\& \mathrm{~L}=2.325 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}$

The length of the internal tube is $2325 \mathrm{~mm}$

Figure 3. Isometric view of the heat exchanger, tubes arranged in a linear fashion

In the redesigned heat exchanger, the arrangement of the U- tube is made linear instead of circular pattern, as shown in Figure 3.

Also, the optimized design of the redesigned heat exchanger assembly was changed to copper material, and the characteristics of the newly designed model were compared with those of the existing model.

Transient thermal analysis was performed on the copper heat exchanger and the temperature gradient acting on it using ANSYS 2022 R2 – workbench software. The analysis was performed, with the same boundary conditions provided for the existing model, for the quarter model geometry of 10 clusters of tubes, and the results were extrapolated for the entire heat exchanger.

Boundary conditions:

Condition 1: (hot water passing through the tube)

The temperature of hot water inside the tube = 90℃

The temperature of cold water in the shell = 27℃

Condition 2: (cold water passing through the tube)

The temperature of cold water inside the tube = 27℃

The temperature of hot water in the shell = 90℃

The mass flow rate of the hot water = 2Kg/s in each tube

The mass flow rate of the cold water = 40Kg/s in the shell

Meshing details:

Number of node = 78043

Elements = 31343

3. Results and Discussions

Transient thermal analysis was performed on the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger design is validated by comparing the results obtained from the thermal analysis done by Paresh et al. [16] thermal Analysis of Tubular Heat exchangers using ANSYS.

  • The values from our experiment are similar to those obtained from the literature, as shown in Table 6.
  • Observing the thermal analysis result, an increase was observed in the heat transfer rate for heat exchangers with aluminium tubes.
  • On increasing the nodes and varying the mesh, similar results were observed.
  • From comparing aluminium and copper, aluminium has an optimum temperature gradient that can be selected to manufacture shell and tube heat exchangers. Copper is also more costly than aluminium
