Beyond the Basics: Interpreting Xfh Output
January 16, 2017
Xfh has a total of 37 output reports, and today we will look at key numbers on six of these reports (output summary, cylindrical energy balance, stack monitor, convection summary, cylindrical firebox monitor, and combustion streams) using an example we modified from the Xfh training workshop. We discuss the following values,...

Beyond the Basics: Understanding the Simple vs. Detailed Piping Option in Xist
January 15, 2017
Xist includes two options for specifying piping geometries: simple (default) and detailed. The simple piping option requires fewer inputs but relies on several default assumptions which may not conform to the intended piping configuration. In contrast, the detailed piping option requires users to specify each piping element (e.g., straight pipe runs,...

Beyond the Basics: Understanding the Xist Vibration Report
January 15, 2017
Avoiding flow-induced vibration problems in shell-and-tube exchangers is an important task best accomplished at the design stage. Xist completes a screening analysis using mechanistic-based methods that have been validated with real cases and data. Because there are two types of vibration (tube and acoustic) and several excitation mechanisms, careful examination of...
