Fig. B10.10 • Final temperature match solution (segmented model)
It must be noted that the dP calculated for the bottom zone has been applied everywhere else. On
all zones but the lowest, dP and dQ actually provide 2 degrees of freedom, i.e different dP will
give different dQ. Since the segmented model allows zoning dP, you can easily convince yourself
that another dP for the high zones will impact the dQ found. Since there is no rationale to finding
this dP, the segmented model can be quite dangerous when the fluid experiences temperature
change within the layers. In this case the more rigorous energy equation model should be
preferred.
