Orifice Sizing
Orifice sizing
This model is a simplified representation of a coolant circuit as part of the thermal management system onboard a hybrid electric aircraft. It is used to demonstrate how the flow in different branches of the coolant circuit can be regulated based on sizing the diameters of the respective orifice components in each branch such that the heat loads generated from the electrical components can be evacuated. For this example, there exists a detailed tutorial which explains step-by-step, a number of predefined experiments integrated into the model and how to interpret the results. The full tutorial can be found here.
