In this study, the non-continuous helical baffles shell and tube heat exchanger was numerically modeled. The effects of different angles and intensities on heat transfer and pressure drop were investigated. The results showed that using a hybrid Nanofluid and specific helix angles can improve the thermal efficiency and heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger.
In this study, shell and tube heat exchanger with non-continuous helical baffles (NCHB-STHX) is modeled numerically. This heat exchanger has varied applications in different fields of science and industry. The ratio of heat transfer coefficient to pressure drop (HTC/Delta P) is obtained from different angles and intensities. Helix angles vary from 20 degrees to 40 degrees, mass flow rate amounts are 0.984, 1.33 and 1.685 kg/s, and hybrid Nanofluid alumina-Cu-water with three different intensities 0.33, 1, and 2% were tested individually. In addition, the results were compared with pure water. Reynolds number ranges are between 25000 and 31000, and the K-epsilon RNG model was chosen as the most suitable one. Results show that the heat transfer at beta = 20 degrees is maximum and the optimum pressure drop occurs at beta = 40 degrees. Also, the helix angle beta = 20 degrees, 2% intensity of hybrid Nanofluid alumina-Cu-water and 1.685 kg/s flow rate thermal efficiency is maximum for the helix angle. As the Reynolds number increases up to 80%, HTC rises to approximately 84%. On the other hand, it declines gradually as the helix angle raises nearly 50% when it comes to alumina-Cu-water Nanofluid. The ratio (HTC/Delta P) is at its highest and has a 6% improvement compared to the previous study.
