Abstract:

In this paper an experiments has been conducted to investigate overall heat transfer coefficient for co-current and counter current flow in spiral heat exchanger. Cold fluid is acetic acid water miscible solution. A series of runs were performed between hot and cold fluid. Hot fluid flows through spiral tube while cold fluid flows through shell side. Mass fraction of cold fluid was varied from 5 to 30%.For each run hot fluid flow rate was kept constant and the mass flow rate of cold fluid was varied from 5 lpm to 8 lpm. Experiments were performed to study the effect of Reynolds number on overall heat transfer coefficient.

Keywords:
