Thermo-Structural Analysis of Shell and tube type heat exchanger
This video(link:https://youtu.be/oZpI6kSihOI) Briefs shell and tube type heat exchanger FE Analysis. It explains how to apply thermal loading on shell side and tube side, How to carry thermal loads in structural analysis in ANSYS workbench. How to coupled thermal with structural analysis. It also explains results extraction like deformation and stresses, stress linearization, stress assessment, etc.

Step 1: Thermal Analysis
Apply temperature loads, ambient air natural convention and achieved temperature profile or distribution.
-
Step 2: Thermal Coupled Structural Analysis
Read Temperature distribution from thermal analysis in static analysis.
Apply Boundary condition.
-
Step 3: Results
Extract Deformation
Extract Stresses
Compare Results with yield or allowable limits
