SUMMARY: This chapter focuses on heat transfer augmentation of tubular heat exchangers and describes existing and prospective applications of tubular heat transfer augmentations to a wide range of industries. Thermal, mechanical and economical considerations of particular importance are also presented. 2.1 Introduction Enhanced tubes are used extensively in the refrigeration, airconditioning and commercial heat pump industries while, in contrast, their consideration for use in the chemical, petroleum and numerous other industries is still not standard practice, although increasing. Designing enhanced tubular heat exchangers results in a much more compact design than conventional plain tube units, obtaining not only thermal, mechanical and economical advantages for the heat exchanger, but also for the associated support structure, piping and/or skid package unit, and also notably reduced cost for shipping and installation of all these components (which often bring the installed cost to a factor of 2 to 3 times that of the exchanger itself in petrochemical applications). The compact enhanced designs also greatly reduce the quantities of the two fluids resident within the exchanger, sometimes an important safety consideration. This chapter describes some of the practical considerations and advantages regarding the use of enhanced tubes and tube inserts in tubular heat exchangers and provides some guidelines for identifying their applications. 2.2 Thermal and Economic Advantages of Heat Transfer Augmentations There are many thermal advantages of utilizing augmentations that must be weighed against their higher cost relative to plain tubing and their economic benefit on plant operation. For many small increases to production capacity (10 to 30%), the purchase and installation of completely new exchangers cannot be justified economically. However, when the heat exchangers are the "bottleneck" of a unit operation, then augmentations may be the right solution. The principal advantage of introducing an augmentation is the possibility of substantially increasing thermal duty to meet the needs of new process conditions or production goals. This can be achieved either by: 1. Installing removable inserts inside the tubes, 2. Replacing a removable tube bundle with a new enhanced tube bundle, 3. Replacing the heat exchanger with a new enhanced tube heat exchanger of the same size or smaller. The first two of these interventions can be completed without any modifications to the heat exchanger itself while all three can be implemented without changes to the original piping connections and to its supports. Hence, these interventions have the benefit of a minimum effect on the operating schedule of the production plant.

The requirement of the current manufacturing and production industries directs the researchers in finding an alternative system which should be effective in the most efficient way. This enables us to concentrate on the field of heat exchangers where the energy processing happens from the waste outlet. The study of heat exchangers is a thrust area as it is an ecodesign model. The concept of heat exchangers plays a major role in the refrigeration and air conditioning system. An attempt is made in this paper to review the literature related to the heat exchangers and modifications made to improve the efficiencies.
