Chemical Engineering
Heat Exchanger Effectiveness Calculator
Computes heat exchanger thermal effectiveness (ε) using the NTU-effectiveness method for parallel-flow, counter-flow, and cross-flow configurations. Used by engineers to evaluate or size heat exchangers without knowing outlet temperatures.
