Regarding Geometry in the TASC calculation mode
Thread Content
I have not used the Geometry calculation mode in TASC. May I ask experts: this calculation mode allows you to specify the geometric dimensions of the heat exchanger (piping layout and installation drawings), without performing heat conduction calculations. If heat conduction calculations are not performed, then what is its purpose? Just for piping? Can’t calculate it? If I lay out the pipes and determine the number of heat exchange tubes, how can I verify their heat transfer efficiency?
Although the geometric dimensions of a heat exchanger are not involved in heat calculations, they are crucial for calculations related to flow velocity, pressure drop, and vibration analysis of the heat exchanger. Additionally, for heat exchangers as well, it is necessary to calculate the actual area of the heat exchanger based on its geometric dimensions, and use this value to determine whether that area meets the required standards.
How do I go about my other question? If I lay out the piping and determine the number of heat exchange tubes, how can I verify their heat transfer efficiency?
