Double Pipe Heat Exchanger Design

In the eventuality that you are involved in a DIY project and you want to make sure that the shed or other structure you are building includes some form of heating without breaking the bank, then the double-pipe heat exchanger may be a good alternative. Also known as a pipe-in-pipe the structure entails that one tube is within the other while having the one fluid flowing analogous to the tube-side in a shell.

As the name suggests, Double Pipe Heat Exchanger Design is a tool designed to help you demonstrate the chemical design calculations of Double pipe (hairpin) Heat Exchangers. To be more precise, the app enables you to calculate the unknown cold and hot side temperatures along with the exit ones on both sides.

Other noteworthy calculations you can perform with this program include thermal analysis for bare and finned tube, unknown flow rate on the hot or cold side, the Cold/Hot side heat transfer coefficient using correlations, flow area, log mean temperature difference, number of hairpins, duty calculations, number of transfer units, so on and so forth. You can design a structure that you know from the start how to put together correctly and hence, avoid unnecessary repairs in the long run.
