Heat exchanger sizing

Objective: size a counter-flow heat exchanger with the effectiveness-NTU method.

Steps

  1. Add a heat-exchanger component.
  2. Set hot and cold inlet temperatures and flow rates.
  3. Choose the counter-flow arrangement and set UA (or area).
  4. Solve.

Expected result

FSAP returns effectiveness, both outlet temperatures, and duty. Sweep UA to hit a target outlet temperature.
