Design of Heat Exchanger used for Chemical Process

Abstract

Heat exchangers are easily one of the most important and widely used pieces of process equipment found in industrial sites. Regardless of the particular industry in question, it willy likely require some type of temperature regulation , and for that exchanger and likely come into play . Heat exchangers may be used for either heating or cooling , however , in the industrial sector , particularly with in plant refineries , they are overwhelmingly used for cooling. They are many type of heat exchangers, each with their own advantages and drawbacks, yet tailored to best suit different purposes and industries. Heat exchangers have very broad range of industrial applications .they used as components air conditioning and cooling systems or of heating systems. many industrial purposes call for a certain degree of heat function ; however, typically great care must be taken to keep these processes from getting too hot . Within industrial plants and factories heat exchangers are required to keep machinery, chemicals, water, and other substances within a safe operating temperature. This research includes all the steps that have been implemented for the design of the heat exchanger (shell and tube) and program (MATLAB) to make the necessary calculations for heat exchanger.
