Cools the gas turbine's flow using water or specify a custom Cp for other fluids as cooling flow.

 

General

External control of coolant flow

Enable or disable an external coolant flow controller

 

Coolant control input

Input values for both coolant mass flow and coolant temperature

 

Off-design effectiveness

Fixed effectiveness or effectiveness from map

 

Design

Specify design HX operating point

Specify the design of the HX using Heat flux, 1st pass flow temp. change, 1st pass flow exit temperature, or Effectiveness.

 

Coolant

Design input values for both coolant mass flow and coolant temperature. Specify water or a user defined coolant by entering a custom Cp.

 

Effectiveness map

Define map and heat capacities

 

Internal heat sink

Define the properties of the internal material of the heat sink (i.e. the material in between the two flows).
