In this Paper heat augmentation techniques with segmented baffle and helical baffle have been studied. This study deals with mainly use of segmented baffles, its disadvantages and how helical baffles prove better as compared to segmented baffle in respect to heat transfer rate. Baffles is one of the important aspect of shell and tube heat exchanger which supports the tubes and changes the direction of the fluid flow..

Keywords: Heat transfer rate, Helical Baffle, segmented Baffle, Shell and tube Heat Exchanger.
