Conclusion and Recommendation

Overall, it can be concluded that this experiment were mostly success as it has
achieved most of the objectives required. However, some of the results obtained do not
satisfied the theory due to error in performing the experiment which should be strongly
avoided. Based on the theory, the values of the overall heat transfer coefficient, all inlet and
outlet temperature had the same reading pattern of increasing in HW and decreasing in CW
on all set.

Based on the results and observation, it can be conclude that. The heat exchanger is a
product used to thermal transfer that was in the liquid in to the outside or vice versa. In this
study, the heat thermal will transfer to another liquid media (coolant) and the main liquid will
rotate to the machine to control the machine temperature. Heat exchanger has many types of
products and the most common used is shell and tubes. This type can be implementing in
widely type of machine. This type need to have good material because it works with high
pressure and high temperature media. That is why, the heat exchanger made of carbon steel
which has high corrosive resistant and low thermal expansion as the shell.

The improvement of this lab is measurement must be taken when the pressure drop
was stabilized, same as to the other such as flow rates and temperature. If the measurement
made when these properties are not in stabilized condition, error might be occur. Then this
will affect the calculation. For the purpose of improving the system of shell and tube heat
exchanger, it is recommended that the shell and tube heat exchanger have their own alert sign
system that can give a sign to the engineer who handles the equipment to take the readings at
the correct and accurate time in order to get accurate readings. The reading for all
temperature should be taken once the temperature is already at constant as this temperature
later will be used for the calculation. This also will less the error when doing the calculation.
