The effects of the boundary layer of the fiber are modeled in terms of drag, heat transfer, and mass transfer coefficients. These parameters are specified under
Exchange in the
Fiber Model dialog box (Figure
3.4.1).
For the
Drag Coefficient, you can choose between
const-drag,
kase-matsuo,
gampert and
user-defined from the drop-down list. If you choose
const-drag, the constant you enter must be specified as a dimensionless value. See Section
2.8.1 for a description of these options. User-defined functions (UDFs) are described in detail in Section
3.7.
For the
Heat Transfer Coefficient you can choose between
const-htc,
kase-matsuo-1,
kase-matsuo-2,
gampert, and
user-defined from the drop-down list. If you choose
const-htc, the constant you enter must be specified SI units of
. See Section
2.8.2 for a description of these options. User-defined functions (UDFs) are described in detail in Section
3.7.
For the
Mass Transfer Coefficient you can choose between
const-mtc,
kase-matsuo-1,
kase-matsuo-2,
gampert, and
user-defined. If you choose
const-mtc, you must enter the mass transfer rate in units of
instead of the mass transfer coefficient. See Section
2.8.3 for a description of these options. User-defined functions (UDFs) are described in detail in Section
3.7.
