[TRNSYS-users] Experimental design parameters

[Gerhard Hartwig <grhartwig@gmail.com>]

Hi all users,

I built a system simulating a humidification de-humidification cycle with various components among other, type 641. All is well but I now need to 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 and mass flows of the simulation and converting that into usable design parameters through various literature relations, heat transfer calculations and comparisons. This works but does not always provide concrete design parameters.

Is this route similar to what other users would have taken? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
