- The heat exchanger of shell and tube types is widely used in industrial applications. This research used shell and tube types where the sea water as cooling fluid flows in the tube and the hot fluid (propane) in the shell. The used of sea waters lead corrosion on the side of the tube such as the tube leakage. So the plugging process needs to be done on some of the tube which is leak. However, it affects the heat transfer process. Therefore is necessary to study the influence of the heat transfer characteristics when a tube was plugged. The simulation was done by using the software of FLUENT ANSYS 6.3 which is a package of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The simulation results showed the use of plugging in the tube by 10% lead the lower value of heat transfer in the heat exchanger. The simulation results also showed that the geometry of heat exchanger affects the temperature distribution.
