GasCooler – an application for the Design and Simulation of condensing (and non-condensing) gas coolers

The purpose is to Design and Simulate vertical, water-cooled Shell and Tube gas coolers and a sample screen dump is shown in the page “Software Examples” together with a brief description. Further information may be downloaded HERE as a *.PDF manual, covering all versions of the programme.

The software appears in 2 versions:

q       The commercial version – identified as GasCoolerv1 – covering a wide range of geometric sizes and loading and is offered at a price of 300€

q       A freeware version – identified as GasCoolerv0 – that is exactly the same as the commercial version – but is limited severely for the user-input. The freeware version may be downloaded HERE

 

GRAP – a handy Tool for Polynomial Regression Analysis

Several years ago, I developed an application to perform polynomial regression analysis interactively on data files with coordinate sets and curves represented by graphical files (scanned images, photographs, screen captures, etc.)

The programme GRAP (General Regression Analysis Program) will take a text file (*.txt format from e.g. Notepad) with up to 30 (x,y) coordinate sets and calculate coefficients for polynomials with degree 1 to 8. Also, you may use the mouse to pick up to 30 coordinates along a picture of a curve (*.gif format from your favourite graphical program) and calculate the coefficients.

The program is quite useful and may be downloaded as freeware ZIP-file HERE
