Heat exchanger sizing
Objective: size a counter-flow heat exchanger with the effectiveness-NTU method.
Steps
- Add a heat-exchanger component.
- Set hot and cold inlet temperatures and flow rates.
- Choose the counter-flow arrangement and set UA (or area).
- Solve.
Expected result
FSAP returns effectiveness, both outlet temperatures, and duty. Sweep UA to hit a target outlet temperature.
