[TRNSYS-users] Creating experimental system

[Gerhard Hartwig <grhartwig@gmail.com>]

Dear users

I built a system simulating a humidification de-humidification cycle with various components among other the humidifier of the tess library, type 641. All is well but I need to now build an actual experimental system to test my design. 

I am struggling with translating the trnsys model into parameters that can be attached to the actual design such as the contact area of evaporation. At the moment I am using the energy transfer rates of the simulation and converting that into usable design parameters through various literature relations and heat transfer calculations. 

Is this the best route or are there other methods available?

Thanks in advance.
