Engineering Examples in z3


DESCRIPTION

  • Basic Engineering examples in z3.
  • Reflecting different domains like Engineering, Statistics, Medicine, etc.
  • Set of cases that are progressively complex on units are used to show the user how it goes from simple to complex cases.
  • Testing how we can make better solutions to the standard problems compared to other software, due to the presence of units.

Examples

ExampleS1: Chemical Engineering
An exhaust pipe is 75mm diameter and it is cooled by surrounding it with a water jacket. The exhaust gas enters at 350C and the water enters at 10C. The surface heat transfer coefficients for the gas and water are 300 and 1500 W/m2K respectively. The wall is thin so the temperature drop due to conduction is negligible. The gasses have a mean specific heat capacity Cp of 1130 J/kgK and they must be cooled to 100C. The specific heat capacity of the water is 4190 J/kgK. The flow rate of the gas and water is 200 and 1400 kg/h respectively. Calculate the required length of pipe for parellel flow and contra flow.

* The following example demonstrates how a problem is solved when units are used.
* The units may be SI, Imperial or a mix of both.
* Code shows how to assign a unit or convert a unit.
* 3 types of calculations are shown: Normal, using Function, using Function1 in Function2.
