[TRNSYS-users] air Density in TRNBuild

Thu Nov 3 01:47:03 PDT 2011

Dear TRNSYS-Users,

if you use Type 56 without TRNflow, a constant value for the air density
is used as written in PROPERTIES.

If you use TRNFLOW, the air density is temperature depended including
the calculated mass flows.

Hi Wang

The air density changes with temperature in Trnbuild.

Best Regards

Dear all,

    Which experts can tell me a question about air density?

    In TRNbuild  PROPERTIES about air density 1.2 kg/m^3: Is it a
initial value? If outdoor temperature changes in TrnFlow, this air
density value will change as the teperature or it is a constant?

   Thanks!

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] Information

Adriana,
  I had thought that I sent a response about this. In case it did not
get to you, here it is again:

...
  It would help to know a bit more about the configuration of your
system: what are you drying, is the material in a big lump, is it spread
out on shelves, is it moving, does it occupy most of the available space
in the chamber or a comparatively small part of the space, etc.)

  I think you could probably use the Type56 multi-zone building model
for the drying chamber itself. 

  I would guess that you would need to write a new model for the
material that you are drying. If the material is quite spread-out then
this might be easily enough characterized by a first-order differential
equation and you even might be able to use Tess Type693. Type693 is
intended to model a thermal lumped capacitance that heats and cools
according to a first-order differential equation but I imagine that
pricipals are basically the same whether you are talking about thermal
capacitance or moisture capacitance. 

  If the product is not spread out, if important moisture gradients
develop within it as it dries, or if its drying process is exothermic
(like it is for compost) then I think you would need to write your own
model or collaborate with someone who could write the model for you. In
order to write the model you would need to have access to a FORTRAN
compiler such as Intel Visual Fortran v11.x

  Once you have the model of the drying substance, you would connect its
moisture loss to a moisture gain input of the building (drying chamber)
model.

Kind regards,
 David

Good Morning,

I am a TRNSYS user since it is one of the tools for my phD thesis.
Currently, I am working in a solar drying problem and I would like to
know if there is a special module to simulate the drying chamber. If it
is possible to acquire this module, I would be very thankful if you can
explain me how is the procedure to access it. 

Thanks for your attention,
