Abstract Heat exchangers play a crucial role in thermal systems by regulating the operating temperature of working fluids. Among the various types used in industry, shell and tube heat exchangers are the most common. In this study, a performance analysis of a shell and tube heat exchanger was carried out using CFD tools, based on boundary conditions obtained from an industrial setting. To enhance system efficiency, the conventional cooling fluid—liquid ammonia—was replaced with a CuO based nanofluid and analyzed. Subsequently, the shell and tube configuration was replaced with a U-tube heat exchanger, and the analysis was repeated under the same boundary conditions. A comparative study of the results revealed that the use of CuO significantly improves thermal efficiency.
