Numerical modeling of a water-to-water shell-and-tube heat exchanger using the capabilities of mathematical modeling by means of a fi nite element analysis package is considered. An algorithm for solving problems of heat and mass transfer in the ANSYSFluent software product is proposed. A distinctive feature of this algorithm is the simplicity and accuracy of the calculations. In the course of the study, the contours of the velocity and temperature distribution in the heat exchanger were obtained, and the data obtained using computer modeling were verifi ed with an analytical solution.
