European Contribution to Heat Exchanger Design/Performance: HTFS Research and Computer Programs. Final Report

摘要

The performance of selected HTFS computer program in solving example heat exchanger design/performance situations is evaluated. In addition, the specific inputs required by the program are presented to give an idea of the amount of detail the user must supply concerning the heat transfer system. Comments on the versatility of each program and technical details necessary for running each program are also provided. The computer programs examined rate the performance of shell-and-tube type condensers and plate-fin heat exchangers. (ERA citation 05:024510)
