Abstracts: Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are probably the most common type of heat applicable for a wide range of operating temperatures and pressures. They can operate at high pressures, and their construction facilitates disassembly for periodic maintenance and cleaning. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers find widespread use in refrigeration, power generation, heating and air conditioning, chemical processes. There is different thermal design method available basically like Kern Method and Bell Delaware Method. Bell Delaware very accurate compare to Kern method. HTRI software is used to design Heat Exchanger. HTRI is work on Bell Delaware method. Different parameter effect on the thermal design of heat exchanger and costing of heat exchanger. Optimization between thermal design and costing is must require before the final fabrication. Key Word: Design of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger, HTRI Software, Kern Method and Bell – Delaware Method
