Mobile application for thermal design of helixchanger heat exchangers

A mobile-based application was developed for the design of Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers with helical baffles, also known as Helixchangers. The application was developed only for the Android operating system which accounts for 84% of smartphone users worldwide. Helixchangers are rarely reported in...
