The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE) is a highly efficient and robust heat transfer device widely used in industries requiring
large-scale thermal exchange. Its design consists of a cylindrical shell enclosing a bundle of tubes, where two fluids (one inside
the tubes, the other outside) exchange heat without mixing.
