Shell & Tube HX

Battery Cooling

Cyclone Separator

Shell and tube heat exchangers are indirect contact devices wherein heat transfer from shell and tube bundles is achieved by means of conduction and convection. These types of heat exchangers are widely used in chemical processing and other industries and there is a huge demand to reduce its energy consumption and cost via increased heat transfer rate and reduced pressure drop.

To meet these demands and develop an energy efficient unit, there is a need to optimize the unit by performing detailed thermal CFD simulations with varying geometric parameters (e.g. diameter, length, number of tubes, number of baffles, baffle cut, baffle spacing etc.) and fluid thermophysical properties

 

Using our GUI, the user can provide these input variables and then the whole process of geometry creation to post-processing is fully automated. Any changes in HX configuration and post-processing requirements  can be customized based on user requirements. We also provide customized material modules and a basic 1-D model using Bell Delaware and Kern for quick evaluation 

In the quest for cleaner energy resources, the automotive industry is increasingly leaning towards the use of electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries. However, their performance, durability, lifespan and safety are determined by the operating temperatures. Hence, there is a need to design an efficient battery pack (with packaging and cost constraints) to keep the operating temperature within the limits.

 

Our automated GUI (Using CFD) provides accurate, fast and cost-efficient solutions to evaluate multiple design configurations and operating conditions with simplicity and ease.

Cyclone separators are widely used for gas–particle separation in chemical process industries. However, their enhancement in separation performances usually leads to an increase in pressure drop and hence an increase in operating energy consumption. One of the challenges in designing a cyclone separator is to reduce the pressure drop while improving the separation performance.

 

With our automated geometry creation and simulation of flow and particles (One and two ways coupled DPM), it is possible to optimize cyclone separators by doing multiple simulations quickly and efficiently.
