Abstract: Experimental analysis of shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) with helical baffles has been carried out. Also comparative study of STHE with segmental baffles numerically is calculated. The numerical result show that under the same mean bulk temperature, heat transfer co-efficient and mass flow rate of shell and tube heat exchanger with helical baffle is higher than the shell and tube heat exchanger with segmental baffle and pressure drop of shell and tube heat exchanger with helical baffle is lower than the shell and tube heat exchanger with segmental baffle that’s result decrease pumping and capital cost. So the STHE with helical baffles might be used to replace the STHE with segmental baffles in industrial application to save energy, reduce cost and prolong service life.
Keywords: Heat transfer co-efficient, pressure drop, shell-and- tube heat exchanger, helical baffles, and mass flow rate.
