Predicting temperature in fluid flow system with heating system
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11970964B2) discloses a method for predicting temperatures in a fluid flow system with a heating system. The method involves obtaining the mass flow rate of the fluid, fluid temperatures at the heater, and power provided to the heater to calculate the temperatures at specific locations based on a model of the system. The model considers the mass flow rate, inlet and outlet temperatures, and is capable of predicting steady-state or transient temperatures.
Furthermore, the method includes adjusting the power provided to the heater based on the predicted temperatures at the specified locations in the fluid flow system. The mass flow rate can be determined using parameters like manifold absolute pressure, air mass flow rate, and fuel consumption. The outlet temperature of the resistive heating element plays a crucial role in calculating the temperatures, and the model can modify the power provided to the heater based on projected conditions. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive method for temperature prediction and control in fluid flow systems with heating elements, offering potential applications in various industries.
