TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS FLUID SYSTEMS ON RATE OF HEAT TRANSFER FOR SHELL AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

Abstract

The shell and tube type of heat exchanger module is to be design for lab study of effect of various parameters on rate of heat transfer. The ionic fluid is used to see the difference in outlet temperature of fluid as compared to reference fluid. The cooling fluid is made by adding various amounts of solutes to water and the effect is observed on rate. Also suggestions are made on the nature of heat transfer, rate of heat transfer and improved effectiveness in the rate of heat transfer as compared to the normal process. The conclusions are made about the fluid used , and effect of solute on rate of heat transfer.
