Heat Exchanger Software

What type of heat exchanger, shell and tube (u-tube, counterflow, double/triple tube), plate, types of media on both sides.

Its pretty hard to have a consensus due to the variety of applications (if you can even have a consensus), you first have to define your need requirements. Then and only then suggestions may follow.

No short cuts here.

HTRI (Heat Transfer Research Institute) software is the best:

Yeah, and did you notice that they don't advertise the price/cost?

It is the old adage "If you have to ask. You DON'T wanna know!"

That was the first thing, but anyone with any experiemce knows that it will co$t.

do not know if its in modules, or a complete package.

I know it's in modules and pricing depends on the number of people using it plus the modules you select. It can be pricey...
