Heat Xfer/RadCon Progress20Oct2006 By John Tang Benton White
Heat Xfer Requirements • Max differential pressure: • Across Clinac=6psi • Across chiller=4.1psi • Flow rate across piping=4.3GPM • 30kW heat dissapation req’d
Heat Xfer Constraints • Flexible tubing for piping • Fit in confined spaces • Allows for flexible placement of heat xfer components • Maintenance considerations • Access to essential components (ie: pump, reservoir tank) easier • Isolation valves
Pipe Flow Analysis (cont.) • Use Moody Diagram to find friction factors • Find Reynold’s Number, Re D=Diameter V=fluid velocity ρ= fluid density μ= dynamic fluid viscosity
Pipe Flow Analysis (cont.) • Use of headloss calculations can be used to find differential pressure in piping hL=headloss in piping ν= specific volume of fluid
Pipe Flow Analysis (cont.) • Determine mass flow rate of fluid
RadCon Calcs • See excel spreadsheet
RadCon • Safe operating distance for x-ray dose rate is 9km.
