In this section, you can find aerospace examples in multiple Simscape Fluids domains.
Featured Examples
Air Liquefaction
Models a Linde-Hampson air liquefaction cycle using the two-phase fluid components. The compressor drives the vapor air through two heat exchangers, recuperator, expansion valve, and storage tank. The first heat exchanger contains water at atmospheric temperature, while the second heat exchanger contains refrigerant. The pressure drops as the cooled air passes through the expansion valve which results in condensation. The air and entrained condensation then pass through a receiver tank where the condensation separates from the air. The liquid air is stored in a receiver tank while the vapor air is circulated back to the compressor.
Aircraft Fuel Supply System with Three Tanks
Model an aircraft fuel supply system consisting of three tanks and an engine.
Aircraft Fuel Supply System with Three Tanks
Warning: This example uses the hydraulic domain, which will be removed in a future release. Find an equivalent example model that uses the isothermal liquid domain here: Aircraft Fuel Supply System with Three Tanks. To convert models to the isothermal liquid domain, use the hydraulicToIsothermalLiquid tool.
Brayton Cycle (Gas Turbine)
Models a gas turbine auxiliary power unit (APU) based on the Brayton Cycle. The power input to the system is represented by heat injection into the combustor; actual combustion chemistry is not modeled. A single shaft connects the compressor and the turbine so that the power from the turbine drives the compressor. The APU is a free turbine that further expands the exhaust stream to produce output power.
