Current Version Notes

The following capabilities are still in development. We will expand the models and correlations progressively; thank you for your understanding.

01

Air-Side Condensation

Air-side water-vapor condensation is not currently supported.

02

Tube Arrangement

Only the inline arrangement is currently supported; the staggered option is not active.

03

Fin Type

Only plain fins are currently supported.

04

Internal Tube Geometry

Microfin internally enhanced tubes are not currently supported.

05

Air-Side Boundary

Air-side boundary conditions currently support uniform inlet flow only.

06

Correlation Coverage

The currently supported heat-transfer and pressure-drop correlations are limited.
