Multi-objective optimization of helical baffles in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger by computational fluid dynamics and genetic algorithm
Baffles are significant components to control shell-side flow distribution and enhance heat transfer in the shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHXs). The helical baffles have become popular as a suitable alternative to segmental baffles The thermal-hydraulic performance in the shell and tube heat exch...
