HEXvle2gas L3 1ph BU simple

Created Monday 10 June 2013

A block-shaped steam to air preheater model with flue gas at shell side and steam/water medium at the tube side. A block-geometry for low pressure air preheaters with U-type tube bundles is assumed.

1. Purpose of Model


This model is well suited to model transients of commonly designed low pressure air preheaters.

2. Level of Detail, Physical Effects Considered and Physical Insight


2.1 Level of Detail

Referring to Brunnemann et al. [1], this model refers to the level of detail L3 because the system is modelled with the use of balance equations applied to two different zones of the component: liquid condensate at tube side, gas volume at shell side.

7. Remarks for Usage





7.1 Naming

The naming of heat exchangers in this package follows some specific form that is defined as follows:

7.2 Heat Transfer Modelling

In most cases the heat transfer from one fluid to the other will be dominated by the heat transfer at one of fluid boundary layers. In that cases the heat transfer coefficient α at this side will be considerably smaller than on the other side. From a numerical point of view it is disadvantageous to have very high (close to infinite) heat transfer coefficients on either sides. If you want to take nearly ideal heat transfer at one of the sides into account please consider the corresponding replaceable model instead of defining arbitrary large heat transfer coefficients in the model.

7.3 Phase Change

Since the model has only one state on the tube side and the shell side respectively phase change is in principally possible but will result in low accuracy during the phase change transients. Furthermore, phase separation is not supported.

11. Version History

- removed unused parameters mainOrientation (now flowOrientation), verticalTubes, kA, effectiveness
- changed wall model to from ThinWall_L2 to ThickWall_L4
- changed default values of z_in_shell and z_out_shell, to avoid newly introduced asserts in geometry base classes (e.g. z_in_shell>max height)
- set parameter mass_struc to final value 0
- quadruple port m_flow is taken from tube side now
- T.Hoppe, F.Gottelt, XRG Simulation
- new heat transfer models can be chosen
- introduced parameter tubeOrientation, models are parametrisable in a more flexible way - Timm Hoppe and Annika Kuhlmann, XRG Simulation GmbH, Lasse Nielsen TLK Thermo GmbH
