This dialog is used to edit the properties of Hoses.
To access this dialog to edit the properties of existing model entities, select at least one Hose, then either select 
(), or press Alt-Enter, or right-click and select Properties.
The set of property values defined by the dialog are saved to a property set with the description shown in the Name box. In addition, you may be given the option to also apply the property values to related entities in the model.
Dialog elements
- Diameter
- Enter the required diameter for this component.
- Heat transfer effectiveness
- Specifies the heat transfer effectiveness (HTE) of the baffle. A HTE value of 1 (default) represents maximum heat transfer, a value of 0 represents no heat transfer.
- Channel heat transfer effectiveness
- Specifies the heat transfer effectiveness (HTE) of the cooling channel. A HTE value of 1 (default) represents maximum heat transfer, a value of 0 represents no heat transfer.
- Channel roughness
- Specifies a relative channel roughness, defined by the thickness of the roughness relative to the diameter. If the value is left blank, the default value is used.
The relative channel roughness, along with the Reynolds number, is used to calculate the friction factor which is then used to calculate the pressure drop in the circuits. If the pressure drop is specified, the Reynolds number will be calculated using the relative channel roughness value. The relative channel roughness is also used in the boundary condition for the thermal equation of the Cool analysis.
- Cross-section is
- Select the type of cross-sectional shape you want to apply to the selected elements.
