I would like to ask you if there is any shortcut method in EDR, which can calculate the area of my heat exchanger if I dont have information about the heat transfer coeffecients?

Thank you in advance!

The heat transfer coefficients are dependent upon the heat exchanger design. EDR provides the calculated heat transfer coefficients in the program output. If you want a shortcut, then look up typical overall heat transfer coefficients for your streams as compiled by others and calculate the area from that.
