Abstract

A heat exchanger (HE) is usually used as one of the equipment in the manufacturing process. The efficiency of the HE is improved to reduce the operating cost. This research examined the baffles with 00, 150, and 300 angle cutting shapes. Parameters are used to calculate temperature (K), velocity (m/s), and pressure distribution (Pa). The fluids that are used in the system of one phase and liquid (water) – liquid (water). The purpose of the study was to obtain the phenomena of the velocity and pressure distribution with the variation of the baffles with angle cutting shape. The velocity of the fluid of shell detects highest when the fluid pass at each baffle. The eddy current surrounds the baffle lowest using baffles with a cut angle of 300. The phenomena and distribution of the fluid have the same condition in the 3D model of HE with the full model and symmetric model one
