Abstract: A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer energy from between two fluids, from a fluid and surface of solid, or from a fluid and particulates of solid, at distinctive temperatures and which are in thermal contact. Double pipe is general type of heat exchanger used in chemical Industries and especially where the heat transfer requirement is minimum. The most usual problem faced in the heat exchanger is the corrosion and fouling due the fluids flowing in the pipes. Nickel is highly resistive to corrosion and fouling in the heat exchangers which increases the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger.
The aim is to study the heat transfer of Nickel and Titanium Double Pipe Heat exchanger by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Using ANSYS 18.1 software by plotting temperature, Velocity contours from CFD Analysis. CFD is the very useful technique to simulate the heat transfer of the heat exchangers. It will predict the heat transfer of the heat exchangers without building the prototype, hence it reduces the cost, time etc. The results obtained from the CFD analysis is compared with the theoretical formulas of the heat transfer to validate the accuracy of the results.
