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 7 and higher) or on different LINUX-platforms. engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 3 TDT - Features TDT - Features 1.

The right hand side has three areas: the action toolbar (with buttons to start calculations), the notebook (containing the overview, graphs and diagrams) and the calculation output at the bottom. engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 7 TDT - Detailed Part Information engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 8 TDT - Ease of Input Currently, 9 different types of components are available in TDT: . 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 engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 9 TDT - Available Fluids Applicable various kinds of fluids The current version of TDT2 can calculate the properties of 29 different fluids in the liquid, gas (super-heated and super-critical) and two-phase state. ◦ pure fluids: ◦ alkanes: Air (as a pure fluid) Methane (CH4) Water (H2O) Ethane (C2H6) Steam (H2O) Propane (C3H8) Carbon monoxide (CO) Butane (C4H10) Carbon dioxide (CO2) Isobutane (C4H10) Hydrogen (H2) Pentane (C5H12) Oxygen (O2) Hexane (C6H14) Nitrogen (N2) ◦ aromatic hydrocarbons: Ammonia (NH3) Toluene (C7H8) ◦ inert gases: ◦ refrigerants: Helium (He) R11 (Trichlorofluoromethane, CCl3F) Neon (Ne) R12 (Dichlorodifluoromethane, CCl2F2) Argon (Ar) R123 (Dichlorotrifluoromethylmethane, C2HCl2F3) Krypton (Kr) R1234YF (Tetrafluoropropylene, C3H2F4) Xenon (Xe) R134 (Tetrafluoroethane, CH2FCF3) R245CA (Pentafluoropropane, C3H3F5) R245FA (Pentafluoropropane, C3H3F5) engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 10 TDT - Definition of Mixtures 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 engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 11 How does TDT work ? engineering your visions © by B&B-AGEMA, No. 12 TDT2 Calculation of Change of State Critical point Various states possible in TDT: ・liquid ・vapor (super-heated, super-critical) ・two-phase state Calculation of change of state v p Isentropic volume coefficient: k v (compression & expansion) p v s n 1 n v 1 Polytropic head: y Z RT v n v 1 Isentropic temperature coefficient: k p 1 1 n 1 T p v 1 T T ps nT 1 n T n 1 k 1 1 p k 1 Outlet temperature: T2 T1 Polytropic volume coefficient: v v T n v k v p k T n 1 ZR 1 k 1 with pressure ratio , real gas coefficient Z, Polytropic temperature coefficient: T p T n c k specific heat cp and polytropic efficiency p T p p T Reference: K.
