About This Lesson
- This project aimed to simulate the performance of a heat pump dryer designed for drying wet wood volatiles.
- The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was employed to capture the interaction between air and liquid water phases.
- Species Transport Model was activated to simulate the mass transfer associated with water evaporation.
- A User-Defined Function (UDF) was developed to represent the evaporation process accurately.
