pipes, fans and filters network: any (free) software
(OP)
Hello,
I have to analyse the sizing and control of a small pipe and fans and filters network. I find no fun in doing that the way I did it some years ago.
Would there be some (possibily free or cheap) software available for this?
The needs are rather modest.
The network of pipes is a tree actually, no parallel branches at all.
This network has two main branches, one with three leaves, one with six leaves.
The gas flow in these leaves can be modified depending on the operations.
Each branch is aspirated by a fan with variable speed.
These two fans bring air to a "neutral point" (0 depression) at the entrance of a filter.
A big variable speed fan then aspires the gas out of this filter and pushes it to a combustion chamber and then to the stack.
Would you know of some sofware to solve this kind of problems with some flexibility?
Additional features to simulate the control of this system would be quite interresting.
Thanks
