Abstract
Optimization techniques have been largely applied in heat exchangers design with several methods available on literature. Many of developed methods have been applied in different types of heat exchangers. Shell and tube heat exchanger, one of the most common configuration applied in industrial processes, involves complex design process, including selection of geometrical parameters and operating conditions. In this context, present study developed a reverse analysis in a shell and tube heat exchanger optimization based on Sinnott et al. (2005), Kern (1950) and Caputo et al. (2008) studies. Minimization of total cost is considered as the objective function with heat transfer performance and working fluid pressure drop restrictions applied. The results obtained through evaluated algorithms are compared with reference original data.
