© by B&B-AGEMA, No. 2 Introduction What is TDT ?
TDT is a Thermodynamic Design Tool, that supports the design and calculation of energetic processes on a 1D thermodynamic approach.
The software TDT can be run on Windows operating systems (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8).

Currently, 9 different types of parts are available in TDT2:
Compressor: component to increase the pressure of a compressible fluid
Pump: component to increase the pressure of an incompressible fluid Turbine: component to expand either compressible or incompressible fluids; this component also covers so-called expanders Combustor: component to calculated simple combustion of gases
Condenser: cools a fluid, so that liquid state is reached at the outlet
Heat exchanger: general component to put heat into the fluid or to cool a fluid
Pressure loss element: component to consider pressure losses e.g. in pipes
Process branch: splitting and mixing of fluid flows
Interface: used to create a connection between 2 heat exchangers

Definition of mixtures available, e.g.: • furnace gases • alkane mixtures • special gas compositions Fluids are defined by selecting components and assigning volume or mass fractions and additional humidity.
3 fluid mixture types: • Dry mixtures: no water content • Humid mixtures: water content, with condensation calculation • General mixtures: water allowed, no condensation is calculated
