Original abstract
The composite modelling system for the heat transfer analysis in equipment featuring complex designs, which is currently being developed, requires information on the distribution of fluid into tube bundles. Therefore, a fast and accurate‑enough distribution model that would be easily implemented into the whole conception of the modelling system is sought. In this work, two differential models are analysed. In order to validate the branch flow rates predicted by these mathematical models, the physical experiments are carried out using dividing manifold systems. Employed dividing headers (distributors) differs in a ratio of the outlet to the inlet area, i.e. one of the crucial parameters affecting flow distribution. The experimental distributors are additively manufactured. Moreover, critical parts of the distribution systems, where different quantities would be measurable with much difficulty or not at all, are also inspected by the CFD simulations.
