Respected members,
I am currently trying to model a rotary heat exchanger in 1D. Since the governing equations apply to 1) an unit element, as well as, 2) Full geometry.
I was able to apply the equations for 'sensible heat exchange' via the LTNE physics interface. But I am finding it difficult to choose the interfaces for 'heat & moisture' transport. Since, both condensation & evaporation has to happen in alternating cycles, hence, the more difficulty.
I already tried using "Moist Air" during my simulations for sensible heat exchange, but the results doesn't show any changes in the relative humidity and temperature changes are also within 1 kelvin limit from the results for sensible heat exchange.
Kindly help me in choosing the right physics interface and what I could do right to make this work.
Regards, Anupam
