Summary

A GENERAL ITERATION FREE APPROXIMATION METHOD WAS USED FOR THE ANALYSIS WHICH CALCULATES THE MEAN OVERALL HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT AND THE OVERALL PRESSURE DROP FOR MANY FLOW ARRANGEMENTS. THE ANALYSIS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE VARIATION OF THE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS AND THE PRESSURE DROP WITH TEMPERATURE AND/OR LENGTH OF FLOW PATH. THE CODE WILL ACCOMMODATE ANY TRIANGULAR PITCH BANK OF FINNED TUBES IN MULTIPLE-PASS CONFIGURATIONS.
