Creating a heat recovery system for moist air (MA) in Simscape involves a few essential steps. Begin by opening Simulink and navigating to the Moist Air section in the Library Browser. Add key components such as Volumetric Flow Rate Source (MA), Reservoir (MA), Moist Air Properties (MA), and Heat Exchanger (MA).
Configure the Heat Exchanger (MA) by connecting the Volumetric Flow Rate Source (MA) to its inlet and linking its outlet to the Reservoir (MA). Set the necessary parameters for the heat exchanger, including heat transfer coefficients and surface area. To monitor the system, add Pressure & Temperature Sensor (MA) and Humidity & Trace Gas Sensor (MA) at various points to measure temperature and humidity.
To determine the cooling tower outlet conditions, model the cooling tower by adding a Heat Exchanger (MA), Volumetric Flow Rate Source (MA), and Reservoir (MA). Place the sensors at the cooling tower outlet to measure temperature and humidity. Connect and configure these sensors, then set up and run the simulation to log the data and analyze the system's performance.
