CASE STUDIES
CS-073: Transient Simulation of a Two-Stage Air Cycle Chiller
This case study demonstrates the transient operation of a two-stage Air Cycle Chiller using Flownex SE to model the closed-loop air system with compressors and a turbine, supporting applications like crust freezing of pre-baked foods.
CS-071: Control Optimization with Flownex-LabVIEW Integration
This case study shows how integrating Flownex with LabVIEW enabled control system design on a simulated plant, removing the need for live start-ups and shutdowns to tune parameters.
CS-070: Quantifying the Effect of Condenser Tube Foaling on Power Plant Thermal Efficiency
This case study focuses on using Flownex to assess how condenser tube foaling affects thermal efficiency and increases operational costs in a coal-fired power plant.
CS-069: Investigating a Delay in O2 Response in an Air/Fuel Gas System
This case study investigates a delay in airflow response during transient load changes in a fossil fuel power station, where Flownex SE identified that optimizing feedforward control and increasing the burner line diameter would improve response time.
CS-068: Energy and Exergy in a Brayton Cycle-Based Power Conversion Unit
This case study simulated a Brayton cycle PCU in Flownex SE under steady-state conditions, logging parameters to calculate energy and exergy, and testing fault conditions by adjusting component settings for…
CS-067: Design of Low Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System Components
This case study demonstrates the use of Flownex to model system components of a low-temperature proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), including the cathode-side air flow…
