INTRODUCTION

About The Project

An idea involves thinking is the best exercise for clearing the concepts. Thinking is just like a
simulator where different ideas, through & actions are compiled to get results. Thinking needs
experience to testing result experience comes by evaluating our thinking by a perfect mocker and
eliminating flows from it. Thinking is the first step to projection. By this project we get a chance
to think and testing our book and knowledge.
The idea is not only to make heat exchanger but also to exercise that how an engineering subject
can be utilized to get an output or a product which can ease the human workings.

Purpose of Project
The main purpose of the Heat exchanger is to design such a machine while keeping in mind both
the necessities.
There are two basic necessities of their design:
It must be able to exchange some amount of heat.
It must be able to do heat exchanging process while remaining all parts stable.

Subjects Covered Under The Project

The Project Fabrication of a Shell and Tube Heat exchanger" is not a single book project. It
links the several discipline and mechanical engineering and general physics several derivations
and formulates from different subjects are mention in next chapters. Some of the subjects need
to be studied before starting the projects are.

Heat Transfer
Manufacturing Process
Production Technology
Mathematics

Production And Market Experience

Production provides knowledge about welding, cutting and machining during production we also
got knowledge about interesting facts that production requires knowledge of market experience
Market knowledge reduces the expense of manufacture.

We did a lot of mistakes while

designing the project. One of the biggest mistakes is designing the project without standardized
raw material.
Tubular Type Heat Exchanger
Circular tubes, elliptical, rectangular, round, flat tubes are used in this category. There exists a lot
of flexibility in the design of these kinds of heat exchangers as tube diameter and length can be
varied at will.
These heat exchangers are basically suits for high pressure difference applications. Primary
purpose of these types of heat exchangers is liquid to liquid or liquid to phase change heat
transfer application.

Specification Of Heat Exchanger

Heat exchanger has been design in such a way that two experiments of heat

enhancement has been perform by just changing the inlet and outlet pipes of outer fluid. Valves
has been provided for the flow control in two pipes as shown in the fig. 3.2. For the insertion of
turbulators inside the pipe, flange joints has been made with provide and easy insertion of
turbulators inside the pipes without much alteration in the exchanger. For the experiment purpose
2 m length of the pipe is used for each turbulators.
