Rigorous Heat Exchanger - Zones Analysis

The Rigorous Heat Exchanger model performs a Zones Analysis to locate internal temperature pinches in order to calculate a duty-weighted LMTD. This produces more accurate results especially when phase change(s) take place.

Zone boundaries are defined at the inlet and exit of the exchanger and at all points where there is a phase change.
