This case study demonstrates the capability of Flownex to determine the orifice sizes required to ensure balanced flow in several parallel pipes connected by two headers. In practice this system coud represent the cooling flow through a simple radiator.

This Case Study describes how Steinmüller was able to do what-if studies and to make decisions such as whether to remove the evaporative platens to optimize the plant in terms of reliability, plant availability and overall plant efficiency. Flownex proved valuable in the investigation by providing the new flow distribution in the water walls and super heaters based on design changes and also the steam condition that is provided to the turbines.

This case study demonstrates the flow balancing that was investigated as part of the design of a water jacket. The water jacket is used to cool a cylindrical test section that forms part of a highly specialized experimental facility.

This case study investigates the balancing of forced flow through a perforated flow distribution manifold situated between the thermal insulation and the bottom of a cylindrical test cavity that forms part of a highly specialized experimental facility. The purpose of the insulation and manifold is to adequately insulate the very high temperatures within the test section while still allowing forced flow of gas to enter at the bottom of the test cavity.
