  Geometrical, Numerical and Materialistic Parameters used for Studying and Reducing Tube-Side Flow Inconsistency in Tube and Shell Heat Exchangers: An Overview

  By Kartik Ajugia, Vinayak H Khatawate, Hari Vasudevan

  Abstract: A Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE) exchanges heat between two fluids flowing at different temperatures. More than 60% of the market is occupied by STHE’s out of all the different kinds of heat exchangers. Maldistribution is the uneven fluid flow distribution in the tubes of the STHE. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed review on the various methods used by researchers for reducing the maldistribution …
