[TRNSYS-users] Hot air flow mixer

[David BRADLEY]

Mazen,
   I am not entirely clear on whether you are controlling the total 
amount of flow going through the solar collector or whether you are 
trying to compute the fraction of the collector's known outlet flow that 
you need to mix into your exhaust gas stream in order to achieve a 
desired mixed temperature. If you are trying to control the outlet 
temperature of the collector, there are collector models available that 
will internally compute the flow rate required to achieve a desired 
temperature. If you have to known air streams that come together to 
achieve an outlet temperature, use Type33 on each air stream to get the 
air stream enthalpies then use some equations to back-calculate the 
quantity of air that you need from each stream in order to get the 
desired temperature. Don't forget about the latent effects when mixing!!
Best,
  David
