Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Mechanical
Heat Exchanger Calculator
Determine the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) and required heat transfer surface area for shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Essential for engineers designing or auditing industrial heating and cooling systems.

Mechanical
Friction Force Calculator
Calculates the friction force resisting relative motion between two surfaces from the normal force and the coefficient of friction. Use it in braking, clamping, or sliding contact design problems.
