Description
Summary:Looks at COLETH, a CAD package developed by Nordon Cryogenie for designing and sizing compact plate fin heat exchangers. Its main features are discussed, including sizing optimization via a reduced Hessien Successive Quadratic Programming algorithm. Finally, 3 test problems are presented and the program's abilities are illustrated. (Abstract quotes from original text)
