Visualized Simulation of Fin-and-Tube Heat Exchanger Based on OpenGL

A visualized simulation system of fin - and - tube heat exchanger used in the field of chemical engineering and air conditioning system is established by using OpenGL technique and computer programming technique. A method for showing the structure of the heat exchanger with three - dimensional figure in the screen is discussed. And a method for showing the simulation results with the figure whose color changes gradually is also discussed. Because of the great interactive characteristic and facility of the simulation system which uses the two above mentioned visualization methods, it provides a friendly and visual platform for the simulation and the design of the fin - and - tube heat exchanger, and can effectively shorten the product design period, and improve the quality of heat exchanger. These proposed methods are useful in the simulation for other heat exchangers used in the field of chemical engineering and air conditioning system.
