Week 1 : Exploring the GUI of GT-POWER

1. Explore the GUI of GT SUITE and list down modules available with brief description.

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

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)
• Calculate pressure drop across CAC
