摘要：This study deals with flow and heat transfer characteristic in a Heat Exchanger if its tube modules completely
or partially dismantled. The heat exchanger is a Steam Coil Air Heater (SCAH) Installed in Gresik unit 1 Steam Turbine
Power Plant. Nowadays, the power plant operates mostly utilized natural gas as a fuel. When it utilized natural gas SCAH
are not give benefit and only give flow resistance for combustion air flow. This study uses numerical simulation model with
commercial Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software. The simulation on the 3D model with a steady state flow
condition. The model use energy model, Heat Exchanger Model, realizable k-Epsilon for viscous turbulence model and SCAH
model as Porous Medium (PM). Modeling SCAH as a PM will avoid time-consuming mesh generation and simulations with
high CPU usage. Fives scenarios of tube module dismantling simulated in 100% load. This study result both quantitative and
qualitative data correspond with flow and heat transfer characteristic. The model with original scenarios gives good result in
terms of pressure and outlet temperature with commissioning data. The contour data results show there are several secondary
flows due to enlargement of flow area. Numerical results of variation S1,S2,S3,S4 are indicated decreasing total pressure drop
about 32.27%, 51.29%, 47.04%, 65.25% respectively. And temperature rise for each scenario will decrease to 29.29% (S1),
46.51% (S2) , 47.92% (S3), 68.28% (S4) respectively, except for S5 have no pressure drop and temperature rise since all
modules are dismantled.
