Shell and tube heat exchanger is a prevalent class of heat exchanger design utilized in various industries, including oil refineries, large-scale chemical processes, and high-pressure applications. This type of heat exchangers are ideal for transferring heat from one fluid flowing inside the tubes to another fluid flowing outside the tubes but within the shell. The primary function is to transfer heat through the tube walls from the tube side to the shell or vice versa. Typically, hot water flows from left to right inside the tubes, while cold air circulates inside the shell from right top to left top.
