Information

The model is designed to test the component Flow1D2ph when used as an evaporator.

This model represent the fluid side of a once-through boiler with an applied external heat flow. The operating fluid is water.

During the simulation, the inlet specific enthalpy and heat flux are changed, while maintaining the inlet flowrate constant:

• t=0 s. The initial state of the water is subcooled liquid.
• t=10 s. Ramp increase of the applied heat flow. The water starts boiling and is blown out of the outlet, whose pressure and flowrate undergo a transient increase. At the end of the transient the outlet fluid is in superheated vapour state.
• t=100 s. Step increase of the inlet enthalpy
• t=150 s. The heat flow is brought back to zero. The vapour collapses, causing a suddend decrease in the outlet pressure and flowrate, until the liquid fills again the entire boiler. At that instant, the flowrate rises again rapidly to the inlet values.

Simulation Interval = [0...250] sec

Integration Algorithm = DASSL

Algorithm Tolerance = 1e-9
