Numerical Simulation of Indirectly Heated Hot Water Heater

Abstract:

This paper describes a mathematical model of heating hot water for indirectly heated hot water heater. Using the established mathematical model was carried out simulation of the device to change its geometrical parameters. Based on the results of simulations was carried out optimization of indirectly heated hot water heater for hot water. Subsequently been made CFD simulations of the device, and those were compared with a mathematical model to verify the accuracy of the proposed mathematical model of heating hot water for indirectly heated hot water heater. Computational methods based on finite volume methods (CFD method) have proved very useful in optimizing indirectly heated hot water heater.
