Temperature Tube

Documentation

TemperatureTube is a real time temperature simulator for the tube, when the liquid flow moves in it.

The physics of heat transfer processes is calculated based on the solution of the differential equation of the temperature field in the flow. The calculation of the temperature field is performed every 0.2 seconds, those 5 times per second. Simulators flow rate, flow temperature at the inlet to the tube, ambient temperature arenon-stationary and change in time.

Flow rate, flow temperature at the inlet to the tube, ambient temperature independently change over time according to dependence:

f (time) = a + b * Sin (c * time),

a, b, c - user configurable parameters.

Such the dependence is universal, it can establish constant and variables values of parameters with a wide or narrow range of variation.

Now the tube is made from Steel, and Water flows inside it. Other materials that can be used to make the pipe (for example, Plastic,...), as well as other substances that flow in the pipe (for example, Air,…) can be added.

We would be happy to receive comments on what features should be added to the simulator and how more temperature fields should be represented.
