Abstract (en)
[origin: US2014262172A1] A tube bundle is provided for a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The tube bundle includes a plurality of elongated tubes, each of which has an intermediate portion that has a cross section in the form of a flattened circle with at least one axis of symmetry. The tubes are arranged in concentric circles with the axis of symmetry extending tangentially to the circle to facilitate rotational flow of a shell-side fluid.
