EVAP-COND Simulation Models for Finned-Tube Heat Exchangers


 

 
  EVAP-COND logo


EVAP-COND is a software package that contains NIST's simulation models for a finned-tube evaporator and condenser. EVAP-COND's help menu provides information about the program's capabilities and how to use the it. The instructions include preparation of input data, execution of the program, and examination of simulation results.
