Abstract: Heat exchangers have always been an important part to the lifecycle and operation of many systems.The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the thermal and structural values of shell and tube heat exchanger with and without baffles. Designing is done using CATIA V5 Software. In this work, various materials are used and analysed for the tube material for their performance in the shell and tube heat exchanger with and without baffles. The different materials for tube material used are Copper, Hastelloy and CuproNickel. Structural and Thermal analysis are performed in ANSYS Software. The results obtained are compared for all cases.

Keywords: Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger, CATIA V5, ANSYS, Thermal Analysis, Structural Analysis
