Evaporator

Evaporator

This experiment uses the testbench AirTwoPhaseHomogeneous where the air flow heats the two-phase flow causing evaporation. The flat tube heat exchanger used was a TwoPhaseAirVertical, some of the specifications include:

  • Aluminum wall material
  • Air friction model: KimBullard
  • Air heat transfer model : LouveredFinChang
  • Liquid friction model: DensityProfileFriction
  • Liquid heat transfer model : SimpleTwoPhase
  • Geometry: EvaporatorExample

Note:

  • When change the input into different type (such as: Ramp, Step, etc.,), remember the initial value should be set manually.
