Week 1 : Exploring the GUI of GT-POWER
1. Explore the GUI of GT SUITE and list down modules available with brief description.
GT SUITE is a simulating tool with libraries aimed at wide variety of industry applications. GT SUITE license provides the access to below mentioned applications:
| Engine Performance and Acoustics |
| Exhaust Aftertreatment |
| Cooling Systems and Thermal Management |
| Air Conditioning/Waste Heat Recovery |
| Fuel Injection |
| Hydraulics and Pneumatics |
| Lubrication Circuits |
| Vehicle and HEV Fuel Economy & Performance |
| Transmission and Shift Quality |
| Cranktrain and Crankshaft Dynamics |
| ValveTrain Kinematics and Dynamics |
| Timing and Front End Drive Systems |
| Engine Real-Time |
| Aerospace Systems |
GT SUITE applications include:
- GT ISE : It is used to build and simulate models from the scratch.
- GEM3D : It is used to create 1D models by importing 3D models from CAD.
- COOL3D : It models the flows.
- GT-POST : It is used to view and analyse the results of various selected parameters, either separately or combined.
- GT-SPACECLAIM : It is a CAD pre-processor application and is used to work with 3D model directly.
- VTDESIGN : It is a graphical preprocessing tool for the valve train and cam designs.
2. Locate following settings:
- Time control flag
- Time step and solution control
- Integrator/Solver type
3. Explore intercooler tutorial and note down all settings of:
- Run setup
- Advanced setup
- Plot setup
- Output setup
4. Problem:
Given
- Diameter of cooler inlet and outlet pipe= 50 mm
- Length of the CAC= 1000 mm
- Inlet mass flow rate = 1200 kg/ h at 100 degC
- Outlet pressure 2 bar at 30 deg C
- Calculate the total heat transfer at Charge air cooler (CAC)
- The total heat transfer at Charge air cooler (CAC) = 6.288 kW
- Calculate pressure drop across CAC
- The pressure drop across CAC is 7.095E-6 bar.
