Heat transfer instruction lessons has been a mainstay in the curriculum of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in mechanical and chemical engineering disciplines in higher institutions across the world. This paper presents the design and fabrication of a shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) for laboratory experiments. A detailed thermal design using the Kern’s approach was adopted for the thermal design of the heat exchanger. Thereafter, a mechanical design was carried out employing the TEMA standards and the ASME BPVC. It was then modeled before its fabrication. A water retention mechanism was designed using PVC pipes and 90˚ bend connectors to form a U-shaped apparatus to ensure efficient exchange of heat between both streams of fluid.
