摘要：In.the first part of this paper, a simplified approach to design.a Shell & Tube Heat Exchan.er [STHE] for beverage an. process in.ustry application.is presen.ed. The design.of STHE in.ludes thermal design.an. mechan.cal design. The thermal design.of STHE in.olves evaluation.of required effective surface area (i.e. n.mber of tubes) an. fin.in. out log mean.temperature differen.e [LMTD]. Whereas, the mechan.cal design.in.ludes the design.of main.shell un.er in.ern.l & extern.l pressure, tube design. baffles design.gasket, etc. The design.was carried out by referrin. ASME/TEMA stan.ards, available at the compan.. The complete design. fabrication. testin. an. an.lysis work was carried out at Alfa Laval (In.ia), Ltd., Pun.-12. In.the secon. part of this paper detail view of design.optimization.is presen.ed by flow in.uced vibration.an.lysis [FVA].
