Vertical Thermosyphon Design Calculator uses the Kern method to perform thermal design calculations. This software application is specifically designed to help you create the perfect vertical thermosyphon.
This software boasts a vertical thermosiphon design that uses the Kern method, making it a reliable choice for those in need of a powerful tool that supports both S.I and English (U.S) units of measurement. Users can easily select TEMA types/designations and choose between a counter flow or parallel flow arrangement.
The software also features a unit converter that includes 23 measurement units with 200 unit conversions available. It allows users to calculate or specify various factors such as the recirculation ratio, exit vapor mass fraction, and pressure drops, overall heat transfer coefficients, and more. While there are more details on the calculated variables in the table, they are not limited to all of them.
The calculations are performed using a trial and error basis, and the software allows users to iterate the recirculation ratio or the tube length based on their preferences. Minimum and maximum circulation ratios as well as minimum and maximum tube lengths can be specified for iterations. Users can also enable built-in tube counts tables or use their own values for specifying tube dimensions and the number of tubes.
Additionally, the software provides advisory design recommendations and validation for maximum heat flux density rates. It performs a mist flow at the tube outlet check and a driving force check while providing a circulation check for the liquid height. The software includes tables and databases, such as Water and steam properties, Fouling Factors, Material thermal conductivities, Typical film heat transfer coefficient values, and more.
The software also allows users to estimate the physical properties of pure components for over 1450 components, including thermal conductivity, density, heat capacity, viscosity, critical properties, boiling and melting points, and more. The database comes as a standalone interface but can be easily integrated with the software. Users can also add their own properties in the additional user databases.
In addition, the software can calculate tube counts, and users can visit the website for more information. Overall, this is a comprehensive software that provides users with an array of features and tools to meet their needs.
