Abstract
In this paper a three-dimensional numerical simulation model is proposed which uses porous media, distributed resistance concepts and k-epsilon turbulence model to simulate shell-side velocity and temperature fields of shell-and-tube heat exchangers with finned rod bundles. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of shell-side fluid are revealed, and the variations of pressure drop, temperature difference between inlet and exit of the shell side fluid with Reynolds number are obtained.
