Dialog elements
| Widget | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Diameter |
Enter the required diameter of the baffle. |
| Heat transfer effectiveness | Specifies the heat transfer effectiveness (HTE) of the baffle. The default value for a baffle is 0.5, half the maximum heat transfer. |
| Channel roughness | The thickness of the roughness in a baffle relative to the diameter of that channel specifies the channel roughness. Channel roughness, along with Reynolds number is used to calculate a friction factor used to calculate the pressure drop in the circuit. Channel roughness is also used in the boundary condition for the thermal equation of the Cool analysis. |
| Name | A user defined designation that can be used to quickly duplicate feature parameters. |
| Apply to all entities that share this property | By default, all entities with the designation specified in the Name option will have the same properties. |
