In chemical plants the tube bundle heat exchanger is one of the most common and most investigated components. The authors analyze the two‐phase secondary flow in the inflow area of a tube bundle gas cooler applying a commercial flow calculation program and demonstrate by way of this example that CFD is an efficient means in chemical engineering.
