Issues with the direction of Heat stream arrows in Aspen
Thread Content
I want to use cooling water to exchange heat with a heater, with the cooling water removing the heat from the heater. How should the arrows be directed when using a heat stream? Is the diagram below correct? Below is where the cooling water is introduced, thank you
The direction of the arrow doesn’t matter; if it’s a cooling value, then it will be negative
There are four flow streams at the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger; why do you have only 3?
Why ask such a question? Just try it yourself and you’ll know; it takes half a minute
Mm-hmm, I’m not sure whether the arrow indicates movement from hot to cold or from cold to hot :(
