The article deals with the development of shell-and-tube heat exchangers for the needs of power engineering, based on additive technologies, in particular, selective laser sintering technology with new configurations of heat exchange surfaces. The role of heat exchangers in microturbines, the most common units of power plants of small distributed power generation, is considered. To intensify heat transfer and increase the efficiency of microturbines, it is proposed to use various configurations of flow channels of shell-and-tube heat exchangers made on the basis of additive technologies. Mathematical modeling and experimental study of a gas medium flow in the tubes of a heat exchanger are carried out. The dependences of the coefficient of hydraulic resistance between the surface of inlet and outlet of gas from tubes of various configurations on the Reynolds number are obtained. The results of the experiment allow us to conclude that the resistance of spiral-shaped tubes is slightly higher than the resistance of tubes with three ribs.
