I would like to ask how to design a heat exchanger with dual inlet and single outlet

In order to reduce pressure drops and lower costs, we are considering using heat exchangers with dual inlet and single outlet (fixed tube sheet, shell-and-tube type). We would like to ask our colleagues how to arrange the baffle plates in such cases Note: Both import and export are at the upper part of the housing
Why are both the import and export located at the upper part of the housing? The placement of baffle plates must take into account the fluid phase and flow velocity on the shell side, as well as its properties. It is certain, however, that a distribution ring needs to be installed at the fluid inlet.
Use a split-type fixed-plate heat exchanger; it seems to be specified in the standards as well, with dual inlet and single outlet, but the flow rate needs to be calculated carefully
I don’t know the specific parameters: material name, flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures?
