• tubular-based geometries
• compact heat exchangers
• flow-induced vibration
• fired heaters

How our software is different

HTRI's calculation methods are backed by over half a century of applied research and data collected on industrially relevant heat transfer equipment. Based on the results of this ongoing effort, we update our methods to meet your evolving engineering needs.

• Modern user interface allows multiple case files (containing both text and graphical inputs/outputs) to be open at the same time.
• Fully incremental calculation modules compute localized heat transfer and pressure drop using local fluid properties.
• Extensive output reports provide detailed results, including local profiles of all important parameters.
• Comprehensive help provides background information, graphs, explanation of input panels and output reports, user tips, and more.
• Graphs and scaled drawings provide in-depth visualization of calculated results.
• Extensive, user-extendable databank for materials of construction enables faster input of complex information.

Changes in this release include

• updated RPM condensation method that eliminates requirement to specify mole fraction inert
• shellside/tubeside radiation heat transfer in Xist^® for sensible vapor streams
• new physical property capabilities
• Engineering Checklist allowing evaluation of case files against user-defined rule sets
• case comparison tool to report differences between case files
• new baffle layout drawing in Xist
