Webinar | Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
This webinar presents a CFD-to-FEA workflow for a counter-flow, shell-and-tube heat exchanger, showing how fluid flow and thermal simulation results are used to evaluate the thermo-mechanical response of the equipment. The session will be divided into two parts and cover:
- fluid-flow analysis of the counter-flow, shell-and-tube heat exchanger
- velocity and pressure drop within the tubes and shell side
- thermal gradients of the heat exchanger tubes
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- temperature distribution from CFD results used to evaluate thermal gradients in the heat exchanger vessel
- thermo-mechanical properties of the heat exchanger material
- thermal stresses obtained through a coupled transient thermal-structural analysis
