Transient Project Expansions
Simu-Therm 7 provided transient simulation of single walls exposed to time dependent hot face or cold face conditions. This did not allow to consider the impact of an enclosed mass, e.g. the charge of a furnace.
The transient module of Simu-Therm 8 includes several expansions for time dependent simulation of containers, ducts or combined walls rather than single walls. The charge of a furnace or the mass flow through a duct are also considered.
Additionally the expansions simplify the use of of transient simulation extremely and avoid most input mistakes. For containers and ducts everything is done in a small and intuitive dialog ,no transient time schedule has to be built up.
Currently the following expansions are available:
- Container - empty or filled with liquid metal. Electric or convective heating can be considered.
- Fire protection - content temperature in an insulation box
- Fire protection - temperature of an insulated beam
- Heat loss simulation of wall consisting of several sections (e.g. a kiln car).
Two more expansions are in progress:
- Ladle simulation - a special case of the container simulation, modeling the ladle cycle
- Liquid metal flowing through duct - simulation of the metal temperature at the exit.
