.TRANSFORM.HeatExchangers.GenericDistributed_HX_withMass .TRANSFORM.HeatExchangers.GenericDistributed_HX_withMassA generic heat exchanger for any relatively simple general purpose heat transfer process.
- Currently the nodes on the shell and tube side must be equal. The lengths do not however there are no geometry checks to ensure reasonable user input.
- The wall is currently fixed as a 2D cylinder but may be generalized in the future to allow user to select wall geometry. The 2D cyclinder though does not require the tubes/shell to be cylinders but will potentially impact the results depending on what thermal resistance dominates.
