This shell-and-tube heat exchanger design code based on stream analysis method was developed to design accurate and advanced heat exchangers. Several geometry factors which affect the heat exchanger design was explained. Stream analysis method to calculate flow fraction of each stream and heat exchanger design flow chart was introduced. Performance of developed simulation code was compared with Delaware09, Delaware10, DongHwa and ANL experimental data. The statistical results of performance evaluation indicated that most data points are predicted within $\pm$30%. But the pressure loss was over predicted.
