Heat Exchangers

It is clear that the energy balance is balanced with the energy around the heat exchanger and the thermal loads calculated on the hot side and the low temperature side should be equal. The data obtained through the experiment agree with this claim. This is shown in Figure 4. In this figure, it can be seen that the thermal loads on the high temperature side and the low temperature side are equal (within the experimental error) for all operations of the finned double pipe heat exchanger. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the energy balance of operation in other exchanges is equally satisfying.

There are many types of heat exchangers in the industry. The type selected according to the function of the heat exchanger itself. To select an appropriate heat exchanger, you need to understand the different types of heat exchangers and the environment in which the heat exchanger operates. If you fully understand the type and operational requirements of the heat exchanger, you can make the best choice during the optimization process. The types and functions of each heat exchanger are shown in Table 1 below. In manufacturing, several types of heat exchangers are used in one process or system to obtain the final product. To select an appropriate heat exchanger, design constraints for each type of heat exchanger must first be considered. Cost is usually the first criterion of evaluation, but there are several other important selection criteria.

Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHE) are the most common types of heat exchangers and are widely used in many industrial applications. Minimizing the cost of these heat exchangers is an important goal for designers and users. The design of the heat exchanger involves a complicated process involving the selection of geometric parameters and operating parameters. Conventional design methods of shell-and-tube heat exchangers require a number of different heat exchanger geometries to identify what fulfills a given heat load as well as a range of geometric and operational constraints And evaluating. However, this method is time-consuming and does not guarantee an optimal solution. Therefore, this study is exploring the use of non-traditional optimization methods; from an economic point of view, it is called particle group optimization (PSO) which is used for design optimization of shell and tube heat exchangers I will. Minimizing annual total cost is considered an objective function. Layout of two tubes
