Solver Description

Perform full TEMA-level shell-and-tube sizing. This iteratively solves the required tube count $N_t$, shell inside diameter $D_s$, local heat transfer coefficients on both shell and tube sides, and pressure drops.

Key Numerical Methods & Architecture

  • Input Redirection: Reads parameters sequentially from standard input (`stdin`) using Fortran sequential read (`read(*,*)`), ensuring modular integration.
  • Modular Design: Formulated using pure mathematical routines, separation of equations from output formatting, and precise numerical solvers (e.g. bisection, Newton-Raphson).
  • Standard Compliant: Written in clean, standards-compliant Fortran 90 to ensure cross-compiler compatibility.

🛠️ Local Compilation

To test this code on your machine, compile the source code file(s) using a standard Fortran compiler (e.g., `gfortran`).

Compilation Command:

gfortran -O3 shell_tube_tema.f90 -o shell_tube_tema

Execution Command:

Execute the program by feeding the sample input file into the program using stdin redirection:

shell_tube_tema < input.txt
