Detailed Description

Heat exchanger source model, in which the heat exchanger is defined as an energy source using a selection of cells.

The total heat exchange source is given by:

\[ Q_t = e(\phi, \dot{m}_2) (T_2 - T_1) \phi c_p \]

where:

\( Q_t \) = total heat source
\( e(\phi,\dot{m}_2) \) = effectivenes table
\( \phi \) = net mass flux entering heat exchanger [kg/s]
\( \dot{m}_2 \) = secondary mass flow rate [kg/s]
\( T_1 \) = primary inlet temperature [K]
\( T_2 \) = secondary inlet temperature [K]
\( c_p \) = specific heat capacity [J/kg/K]

The distribution inside the heat exchanger is given by:

\[ Q_c = \frac{V_c |U_c| (T_c - T_{ref})}{\sum(V_c |U_c| (T_c - T_{ref}))} \]

where:

\( Q_c \) = source for cell
\( V_c \) = volume of the cell [m3]
\( U_c \) = local cell velocity [m/s]
\( T_c \) = local call temperature [K]
\( T_{ref} \) = min or max(T) in cell zone depending on the sign of Q_t [K]
Usage
Example usage:
effectivenessHeatExchangerSource1
{
    type            effectivenessHeatExchangerSource;
    active          yes;

    selectionMode   cellZone;
    cellZone        porosity;

    secondaryMassFlowRate   1.0;
    secondaryInletT 336;
    faceZone        facesZoneInletOriented;
    outOfBounds     clamp;
    file            "effTable";

    // Optional
    // primaryInletT 293;
    // targetQdot   1500;
}

Optional entries:

  • primaryInletT : sets the primary inlet temperature. If not set, the flux-averaged temperature is used.
  • targetQdot : target heat rejection

The effectiveness table is described in terms of the primary and secondary mass flow rates. For example, the table:

                       secondary MFR
                   |  0.1   0.2   0.3
              -----+-----------------
              0.02 |   A     B     C
 primary MFR  0.04 |   D     E     F
              0.06 |   G     H     I

is specified by the following:

    (
        (
            0.02
            (
                (0.1    A)
                (0.2    B)
                (0.3    C)
            )
        )
        (
            0.04
            (
                (0.1    D)
                (0.2    E)
                (0.3    F)
            )
        )
        (
            0.06
            (
                (0.1    G)
                (0.2    H)
                (0.3    I)
            )
        )
    );
Note
  • the table with name file should have the same units as the secondary mass flow rate and kg/s for phi
  • faceZone is the faces at the inlet of the cellzone, it needs to be created with flip map flags. It is used to integrate the net mass flow rate into the heat exchanger
