Heat Exchanger
Inlet/Outlet Temperature Prediction

Important Notices:
 
bulletThis procedure predicts the thermal behavior of a single heat exchanger or a bank of identical heat exchangers. It can handle "TEMA" shell types (E, F, G, and J) as long as there is no change in phase.
bulletA more comprehensive and powerful version of this procedure is available online through Process Associate's clients gateway (password required). WWW-based and Stand-alone versions of the full program for Windows 3.1x/95/NT and Unix operating systems are available through their coordination office. The full version of this procedure is part of their Process Designer® line of intelligent software.
bulletFor your convenience, The input form below has several multiple choice fields {using radio buttons} with one field already selected as default. Please make sure that you always mark the proper button corresponding to your input if it is different from the default.
