Experimental Analysis of Heat Exchanger and Simulation of Result using Solid Work

Heat exchangers one of the most important heat and mass transfer apparatus in industries like electric power generation, oil refining and chemical engineering etc. are designed with preciseness for optimum performance and long service life. This paper analyses counter flow and parallel flow heat exchanger by experimentally and analytical by using solid works software. The paper also consist of experimental data of counter flow and parallel flow heat exchanger and simulate the over data on software using solid works. Simulation gives different flow of trajectory and flow of heat from hot and cold water. This method used in design of heat exchanger with a baffle cut of 25%. The result obtained in this paper shows us that the desired properties from a heat exchanger i.e overall heat transfer coefficient, shear stress, heat flux, and other factors which are helpful for the design of heat exchanger. In both results we find the difference between the experimental value and the analytical value of overall heat transfer coefficient value. The difference are found due to fouling factor, cavitations and design of heat exchanger.
