Detailed Description

Heat exchanger source model for compressible flows, 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]

Sources applied to either of the below, if exist:

      e         | Internal energy                            [m2/s2]
      h         | Enthalphy                                  [m2/s2]

Required fields:

      T         | Temperature                                [K]
      U         | Velocity                                   [m/s]
      phi       | Mass flux                                  [kg/s]
Usage
Minimal example by using constant/fvOptions:
effectivenessHeatExchangerSource1
{
    // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
    type                effectivenessHeatExchangerSource;

    // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
    faceZone                 <faceZoneName>;
    secondaryMassFlowRate    1.0;
    secondaryInletT          336;

    outOfBounds              clamp;
    file                     "effTable";

    // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
    primaryInletT            293;
    targetQdot               1500;
    U                        <Uname>;
    T                        <Tname>;
    phi                      <phiName>;

    // Conditional optional entries (runtime modifiable)

        // when the entry "targetQdot" is present
        targetQdotCalcInterval  1;
        targetQdotRelax         1.0;

    // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
    ...
}

where the entries mean:

Property Description Type Reqd Dflt
type Type name: effectivenessHeatExchangerSource word yes -
secondaryMassFlowRate Secondary flow mass rate [kg/s] scalar yes -
secondaryInletT Inlet secondary temperature [K] scalar yes -
faceZone Name of the faceZone at the heat exchange inlet word yes -

U Name of operand velocity field word no U

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

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.
  • primaryInletT sets the primary inlet temperature. If not set, the flux-averaged temperature is used.
