A heat exchanger is a fundamental instrument for transferring heat from one fluid (liquid or gas) to another, utilized in many different applications and industries. The performance, longevity, and general efficiency of these heat exchangers are greatly influenced by the materials that are used in their construction. This research represents a detailed comparative analysis of shell and tube heat exchangers utilizing copper and nitinol tubes, focusing on their performance under various operating conditions also specializing in their significance in diverse industries which includes power generation, chemical processing, HVAC etc. Copper is significantly used because of its higher thermal conductivity. However, it has risks, of corrosion and shape deformation at excessive temperatures. The Unique Nitinol is a durable alternative for high-temperature applications due to its exceptional elasticity and resistance to distortion. Through the use of ANSYS CFX Solver computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, the study assesses pressure drop and temperature variations under various operational circumstances. The findings show that nitinol exhibits less pressure drops than copper, suggesting possible benefits in terms of energy economy, system optimization, material choice and also can be used in different industries like Oil refineries, Steam power generation, nuclear power station etc.
