Tracer study - parameters

Kamil Zyskowski Mar 6, 2015 10:13 AM

Hi,

I've exhaust model as a part of more complex machine. I'd like to simulate hot exhaust gases leaving the installation and check if any other component of machine do not suck from the exhaust. Issue is that while I do Inlet mass flow with T=500*C I cannot in parallel add tracer study (CO) for the surface of gas emission. When I disable Inlet - I can add tracer but there's a problem of temperature which cannot be applied.

How to prepare simulation like this?

Regards.

Tracer study is for liquid and solid particles, not gas. I would recommend simulating your CO as a working fluid and seeing how it mixes with ambient air.

  Thanks but I think you are refferig to particle study while I to tracer one (in HVAC module only).
  
  Please look into tutorial workbook for "Canyon pollution" example. There is NOx study so some air/other gas are mixed.
  
  Ciao!

    You are correct, my apologies. I have never used the HVAC module so I did not realize.
