Thermal Analysis to Estimate Heat Transfer From Heat Sink By Forced Convection Through Open Enclosure

Heat Exchanger is a device used to exchange the heat energy between the two fluids by which increases the operating efficiency. These efficiencies plays a major role for cost effective Operations in the process industries. While the both Fluids flow through the heat exchanger, the temperature of both fluids will exchange. The main objective of this paper is deals with the performance rate of double pipe heat exchanger by changing the materials which uses the heat input from the waste recovery of steam in refinery process. Double pipe heat exchangers are designed in CATIA and GAMBIT. CFD analysis is done by using ANSYS. Final Results are obtained with three different types of materials steel, aluminum and copper.
