Carno is on a distinguished road
I am trying hard to simulate a heat exchanger problem, in which hot gas is getting cooled by water.
I am getting strange error.
The density of water starts to reduce and run crashes after some time. One more thing is, gas is at higher temperature, but instead of getting cooled by water it's temperature goes on increasing. I am also posting my water thermo file file.

Code:
Time = 1
