How do changes in water properties affect pressure drop in a heat exchanger?
Thank you very much! It really helped a lot That pdf document is really good, it confirmed what i was thinking. I realized with my calculations that if I define all properties constant, the pressure drop is not changing. Then I set the water properties as IAPWS EOS (International...- rideway

3D model with wind tunnel-CFD simulation
If you don't have the tutorials, search the web. There is a lot of information to all those questions that may arise at the beginning. If you still struggle, then I recommend you cfd-online.com forum For your simulations, you would like this tutorial- rideway

3D model with wind tunnel-CFD simulation
I don't know if i understood properly what you are doing, but you don't need to model any "wind tunnel", just the model of what you want to test. then you give the meassures of your wind tunnel, for example: 3m distance in +x direction, 10m in -x, 0.05m in -z, etc Then you will get a squared...- rideway

3D model with wind tunnel-CFD simulation
Try with ANSYS Workbench and then CFX or Fluent as solvers...is really easy to do the mesh with workbench. Just import your geometry and create an enveloping body (dont know how that function is called in the english version). Hope it helps! Cheers- rideway

How do changes in water properties affect pressure drop in a heat exchanger?
Hello everybody The problem is about a very simple heat exchanger. One pipe with cold water at the inlet and at some points heat is applied uniformly. Assumed no buoyancy. Wall is smooth and with no slip. I simulate different a matrix of volume flow rates and inlet water temps. For 5...- rideway
