EngineersToolbox Fluid Mechanics And Heat Transfer Library
The ETBX Fluid Mechanics And Heat Transfer library contains modules concerned with fluid and thermal flow. Click on a
module name below to view the module's documentation.
The Fluid Flow Rate and Pressure Drop module is used to compute the flow rate and pressure drop due to fluid flow in a pipe. The pipe cross-section can be circular, annular or rectangular. Laminar or turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid (gas or liquid) can be computed.
The Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient module computes the heat transfer coefficient due to fluid flow in a pipe. The pipe cross-section can be circular, annular, or rectangular. Heat transfer due to laminar or turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid (gas or liquid) can be computed.
The Converging-Diverging Nozzle Flow module computes the maximum gas flow rate and flow regime in a converging-diverging nozzle. This module can also be applied to compute the maximum allowable mass flow rate of a gas through a given cross-section.
This module computes heat fluxes, temperatures, and effective thermal resistance through slabs, long cylinders, and spheres under steady state conditions. The module calculates heat transfer for single as well as multiple layers of flat plates, cylinders, and spheres. Heat conduction for temperature and heat flux boundary conditions are supported.
This module computes the convection heat transfer coefficient for external flow over a flat plate, a sphere, a cylinder, or an array of cylinders.The array of cylinders can be a staggered or inline arrangement. Heat transfer coefficients for laminar or turbulent flow of an incompressible fluid (gas or liquid) can be computed.
This module computes one-dimentional transport of a particle/droplet by a carrier gas. Mass, momentum, and energy exchange between the particle/droplet and carrier gas is included. The module can be applied to estimate the terminal velocity and time required to attain terminal velocity in a carrier gas moving at constant velocity. The module can be applied to examine the heating or cooling of a particle/droplet in a carrier gas. The evaporation of a droplet in a carrier gas can also be computed.
