Abstract:

Abstract:In order to shorten design cycle of heat exchanger and improve design quality,thermodynamic calculation software for shell and tube heat exchanger was designed,which is based on Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 as its programming language and Microsoft Visual Foxpro as its underlying database and combined with Origin as data analysis mapping.Based on optimal principles,optimizing design model was built for the target of minimum total annual costs of shell and tube heat exchanger,and optimized through project case,which brought good design effect.

Key words: Keywords:shell and tube heat exchanger, programming, thermodynamic calculation, optimization design, origin software
