Abstracts: Heat exchanger devices are essential components in complex engineering system related to energy transformation in industrial scenes. Modeling of shell and tube heat exchanger, for design and performance evaluation is now an established technique in industrial fields. In this project attempt is made to overcome some theoretical assumptions and serve practical approach as much as possible for shell and tube heat exchanger design and optimization. Numbers of iteration and their comparisons as well as analysis are performed in HTRI software. The case of minor error is theoretical assumption made in manual calculations. The final results are helpful to run shell and tube heat exchanger hot oil heater at optimal mass flow rate and baffle spacing.
