Digital Twin of Heat Exchanger

Abstract

How to create proper digital twin of plate heat exchange. The chapter will investigate alternatives for modeling and propose the best choices in modeling to trade-off between accuracy of the calculation vs. speed. Lump sum vs. distributed model, how to make plate model discrete, temperature distribution models, and details in heat exchange wall modeling will be considered. Last part would focus on experimental evaluation of the simulation using IR temperature vision measurements. Conclusions would take concrete examples of dynamic responses of heat exchange units, comparing numeric simulation with experimental results.
