Overview
Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers are among the most popular exchangers because they can withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Shell and tube exchangers can be divided into two main categories:
those that are used in the petrochemical industry.
Those used in the power industry, such as feedwater heaters and power plant condensers.
It is common for exchangers to have several common features, regardless of the type of industry they are used in.
An exchanger consisting of tubes mounted inside a cylindrical shell is called a shell and tube exchanger. An example of a petrochemical plant unit can be seen in Figure 1. Two fluids can exchange heat, one of which flows over the outside of the tubes and the other through them. There are two types of fluids: single phase and two phase as well as parallel flow and cross-counter flow.
