How to fill it
Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.
On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.
Formula

Diagnose
This tool does not attach diagnose observations.
Assumptions
- Leave F blank for 1. Does not rate a specific exchanger geometry.
Provenance
- F corrects LMTD for arrangement. F = 1 is a pure counterflow assumption.
