Heat exchanger is an important unit operation that contributes to efficiency and safety of many processes.The heat exchange is performed between hot and cold water. Heat exchanger is important appliance in field of thermal,heat mass, fluid flow, as in nuclear reactor, steam power plant (in super heater), fertilizers factory, etc. This reportpresents on comparative study of u-tube, spiral & helical coils for different heat transfer parameters by usingSOLIDWORKS and ANSYS FLUENT. The experimental results are compared with CFD calculations results using theCFD package FLUENT 16.2 and experimental setup is fabricated by other group. Mild Steel was chosen as the asmaterial for the construction of the u-tube, spiral & helical coils. The fluid flowing through the coil was taken as water.While the heat transfer characteristics of u-tube, spiral & helical coils heat exchanger are available in literature, thereexist no publish comparison of Experimental and CFD analysis of u-tube, spiral & helical coils heat exchanger. Heattransfer characteristics of u-tube, spiral & helical coils heat exchanger for various boundary conditions are compared.
