Some features:
The plate can be aluminum, stainless steel or copper.
The size id user input.
The coolant can be water or 50/50 ethylene glycol.
The tube diameter, flow rate and inlet T is user given. Default values are given
but can be over written.
A friction factor can be used to account for flow turbulators. For smooth tubes use 1.
Parallel or serpentine channels can be selected.
Heat sources can be drawn on the cold plate and heat load, W, given. Multiple sources can be given.
The solve button gives a range of results for the range of min to max tube spacing. This allows the user to see the trend with the given spacing range.
The temperature plot and tube spacing shown is for the max spacing.
The method.
