modelMartin

The Martin approach for plate heat exchangers from VDI Heat Atlas

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialSinglePhaseCorrelation (Base class for single phase heat transfer correlations).

Information

The model Martin extends the partial model PartialSinglePhaseCorrelation and computes the heat transfer coefficient based on the correlation for plate heat exchangers developed by Martin 2010
