Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design is a useful and reliable step by step shell and tube heat exchanger design and analysis software.
Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design is a software tool that is made to demonstrate the chemical design & rating calculations of Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers.Unlike other tools, ensures that the calculations are performed step by step to help in understanding the design calculations.
Please note that the software can only do the basic chemical design & rating calculations of shell and tube heat exchangers and some mechanical design calculations.
Here are some key features of "Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design":
· Step by step calculation
· Estimate the Physical properties of 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.
