The tests were carried out at hot fluid temperature range between (40) to (60) C ˚ at atmospheric pressure for volumetric flow rates ranged between (800) to (1800) l/hr. The model presented for this object was suggested to be accomplished by using the step by step technique. In this model, the heat exchanger was divided into longitudinal increments along the heat exchanger for both tube and shell sides. The output of each increment for both sides of process and service fluids including the thermal and hydraulic parameters are considered to be the input of the next increment and so on u ntil the final temperature and load of the heat exchanger together with the hydraulic requirements were reached. Two methods were applied in the suggested design model, Kern and Bell-Delaware, in addition to the step by step technique. The prediction of heat exchanger performance of the present model well agreed with the above mentioned methods. The results of the present model showed a good agreement with the experimental data obtained during this investigation for the performance paramete
