Tube Side and Shell Side in a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
The shell-and-tube heat exchanger is one of the most common heat exchange devices in industrial production. Known for its efficiency and stability, it is widely used in industries like chemical processing, petroleum, and energy. It operates by facilitating heat transfer between fluids through two main components: the tube side and the shell side. The design of these two sections and the paths chosen for the fluids directly impact the exchanger's performance and heat transfer efficiency....
