Information
TestLiqLoopJP8 is a Modelica test model for JP8, a jet propulsion fuel often used in military aircraft.
It simulates a liquid loop system with a primary JP8 circuit and a secondary CO2 circuit.
The primary loop includes a reservoir, centrifugal pump, flow resistances, and heating element. A 40 kW heating element adds thermal energy to the JP8 fluid. The pump maintained a temperature difference of 15°C across the conduction element.
The secondary loop uses a counter-flow heat exchanger (evaporator) for cooling with CO2 as cooling medium. A PI controller regulates CO2 sink pressure to maintain an evaporator outlet temperature of 30°C in the liquid loop.
