Week 1 : Exploring the GUI of GT-POWER
Aim: Exploring the GUI of GT-suite
GT-suite can be used in a wide range of applications. There are several industries that are using GT-suite for various applications
- On-highway and off-highway vehicle
- Marine and rail
- Industrial machinery
- Aerospace
- Power generation
Multiphysics platform
GT-Suite has a versatile multiphysics platform based on many underlying fundamental libraries
- Flow library
- Acoustic library
- Thermal library
- Mechanical library
- Electrical and Electromagnetic library
- Chemistry library
- Control library
- Built in 3D CFD and 3D FE
Modern software and unique capabilities
- Fusion of 1D and 3D simulation in one tool
- Import solid models in CAD to create 1D and 3D models
- Performs embedded 3D (CFD) and 3D FE thermal/structural modeling with all the boundary conditions provided by the system.

4. Problem: (50 Marks)
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 Average heat transfer at Charge air cooler (CAC)
- Calculate pressure drop across CAC
