Liquid vapor heat exchanger design

This tool helps designers in the basic engineering phase to determine key parameters of liquid to liquid heat exchanger design. Gives the heat transfer coefficient at both side, then evaluates the overall heat transfer coefficient, LMTD and Area required, No of tubes.

Required Details To use the calculator, input: mass flow rates, inle outlet temperatures and liquid properties of specific heat, density, viscosity and thermal conductivity Once details are submitted, make a $10 payment for the calculator button to activate.Once activated it remains active for 10minutes during which multiple calculations can be done. No refund is provided if data is incorrect.
