The thermal performance of a heat exchanger depends upon various parameters like inlet temperature of a hot fluid, type of hot fluid, type of cold fluid, shape of baffles, material of baffles, baffles angle and property of ribs. Basically fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are largely depends upon the Reynolds number (Re). Reynolds number is basically the ratio of inertia force to viscous force. Re is only the factor by which we can decide whether the fluid is laminar or turbulent in shell and tube type of heat exchanger. Heat exchanger is an adiabatic device in which heat is transferred from one fluid to another fluid across a plate surface. In this paper we have introduced some special type of triangular baffles with rectangular channels. The purpose of this apparatus is to enhance the performance of the heat exchanger. Heat exchangers, nowadays, are one of the most important heat & mass transfer apparatus in industries like oil refining; heat treatment plants, electric power generation etc. are long service life.
