Heat
Transfer Consult has developed a thermo-hydraulic
software
tool called AHTL (Another Heat Transfer Language). AHTL makes it really
easy
to
rigorously and dynamically simulate arbitrary, complex heat transfer
systems. Go there.
Optimization can bring in large
returns. Almost anything can be optimized, thermo-hydraulic equipment
is no exception. Go to the optimization
page.
