What goes in the tube is tube side.
What goes in the shell is shell side.
RE: Shell Side/Tube Side
just to expand on PVRV's post. The tubeside would be defined as those compartments which contain (or are in contact with) the tubeside process fluid.It includes channel (or bonnet), tubes, nozzles, & flanges connected to these parts.The shellside would be those compartments that contain (or are in contact with) the shellside fluid .It includes the cylindrical shell, the shell cover, any nozzles, & flanges connected to these parts.Items like the tubesheets, floating head assembly, and tubes, are part of both the shellside and tubeside as they are in contact with both tubeside and shellside process fluids.

RE: Shell Side/Tube Side
Excellent post. Perhaps, you should explain and define what
process fluid, nozzles, flanges, tubesheet, floating head assmebly, are ? etc.
Since Kent had required assistance grasping "shell side" &
"tube side"
