Calculations
• Ability to calculate unknown Cold or Hot side temperatures.
• Perform thermal analysis for bare tube double pipe (hairpin) heat exchangers.
• Perform thermal analysis for finned tube double pipe (hairpin) heat exchangers.
• Choose from Counter Current or Co-Current Flow arrangement
• Choose from Series arrangement or Series-Parallel arrangement.
• The software will also tell you the location of Hot/Cold fluids within the heat exchanger (Inner Pipe or Outer Pipe).
• Select from different correlations to calculate Cold/Hot side heat transfer coefficient. Also the ability to adjust Nusselt number if you do have a different correlation.
• Calculate the Area, Flow area, Length, Log Mean Temperature Difference, Number of Hairpins, Unknown Flow rate.
• Calculate the scale resistance (dirt factor), Equivalent Diameter.
• Calculate Pipe/Annulus side Reynolds, Nusselt numbers & Prandtl Numbers.
• Duty Calculation, Clean and Design Overall heat transfer coefficient calculations
• Pipe/Annulus velocities and Mass velocity calculations
• Number of Transfer Units and Thermal Capacity ratio calculation.
• Clean and Fouled Fin Efficiency calculations for finned tube heat exchanger.
• Pressure drop calculations & Entrance and Exit losses.
Included databases
• Estimate the Physical properties of pure components for more than 1450 components; the database has the ability to estimate Thermal Conductivity, Density, Heat Capacity and Viscosity. The database also included critical properties, boiling and melting points and come as a standalone interface but easily integrated with the software.
• Estimate mixture properties. (ALL ESTIMATION METHODS CURRENTLY SUPPORT LIQUIDS ONLY)
• User database functions to allow user to add/delete components and load to hot/cold side (Empty database!).
• Fouling factors
