-----------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------The shell and tube type of heat exchanger module is to be used for simulation study of various fluid systems on rate of heat transfer. The ionic fluids are used to see the difference in outlet temperature of fluid as compared to reference fluid. The cooling fluid is made by adding various amounts of solutes to water and the effect is observed on rate. Also suggestions are made on the nature of heat transfer, rate of heat transfer and improved effectiveness in the rate of heat transfer as compared to the normal process. The conclusions are made about the best simulated results obtain from Chemcad software on rate of heat transfer.

INTRODUCTION

Shell and tube heat exchanger are one of the most widely used type of heat exchanger in the process industries (65%of the market) and are commonly found in oil refineries, nuclear power plants and other large scale chemical processes [5]. Additionally, they can be found in many engines and are used to cool hydraulic fluid and oil. In this application, two separated fluids at different temperatures flow through the heat exchangers: one through the tubes (tube side) and other though the shell around the tubes (shell side). Several design parameters and operating conditions influence the optimal performance of shell and tube heat exchangers.

PROCEDURE

The “fig.� describes the flow of fluid and equipment arrangement for the research. The heat exchanger and equipments are assembled systematically. The fluid solutions are made with various solutes. The solutes such as NaCl, KOH, KMnO4, etc are used for the experiment. The temperatures of inlet and outlet are measured to determine the effect on rate of heat transfer.

DESIGN OF EQUIPMENT AND MODEL EQUATION

A shell and tube heat exchanger of dimension length-39 cm, shell diameter 9 cm, Tube diameter 0.62 cm is used. Stainless steel is used as the material of construction.

RESULT DISCUSSION

The graphs are plotted between LMTD and concentration of fluids shows that the LMTD increases with the increase of concentration for constant flow rate. 40 concentratio n vs LMTD at 70 °C
