Feedwater Heater (0D)

The FWH0D model is a 0D feedwater heater model suitable for steady state modeling. It is intended to be used primarily used with the IAWPS95 property package. The feedwater heater is split into three sections the condensing section is required while the desuperheating and drain cooling sections are optional. There is also an optional mixer for adding a drain stream from another feedwater heater to the condensing section. The figure below shows the layout of the feedwater heater. All but the condensing section are optional.

Example

The example below shows how to setup a feedwater heater with all tree sections. The feedwater flow rate, steam conditions, heat transfer coefficients and areas are not necessarily realistic.

model = make_fwh_model()

Model Structure

The condensing section uses the FWHCondensing0D model to calculate a steam flow rate such that all steam is condensed in the condensing section. This allows turbine steam extraction rates to be calculated. The other sections are regular HeatExchanger models. The table below shows the unit models which make up the feedwater heater, and the option to include or exclude them.

Unit	Option	Doc
condense	–	Condensing section (FWHCondensing0D)
desuperheat	has_desuperheat	Desuperheating section (HeatExchanger)
cooling	has_drain_cooling	Drain cooling section (HeatExchanger)
drain_mix	has_drain_mixer	Mixer for steam and other FWH drain (Mixer)

Degrees of Freedom

The area and overall_heat_transfer_coefficient should be fixed or constraints should be provided to calculate overall_heat_transfer_coefficient. If the inlets are also fixed except for the inlet steam flow rate (inlet_1.flow_mol), the model will have 0 degrees of freedom.

Feedwater Heater Model This is a 0D feedwater heater model. The model may contain three 0D heat exchanger models representing the desuperheat, condensing and drain cooling sections of the feedwater heater. Only the condensing section must be included.

FWH0DData Class

class idaes.unit_models.power_generation.feedwater_heater_0D.FWH0DData(component)

build()

General build method for UnitModelBlockData. This method calls a number of sub-methods which automate the construction of expected attributes of unit models.

Inheriting models should call super().build.

Parameters:None – Returns:None

initialize(*args, **kwargs)

This is a general purpose initialization routine for simple unit models. This method assumes a single ControlVolume block called controlVolume, and first initializes this and then attempts to solve the entire unit.

More complex models should overload this method with their own initialization routines,

Keyword Arguments:  

• state_args – a dict of arguments to be passed to the property package(s) to provide an initial state for initialization (see documentation of the specific property package) (default = {}).
• outlvl –

  sets output level of initialisation routine

  • 0 = no output (default)
  • 1 = return solver state for each step in routine
  • 2 = return solver state for each step in subroutines
  • 3 = include solver output infomation (tee=True)
• optarg – solver options dictionary object (default={‘tol’: 1e-6})
• solver – str indicating which solver to use during initialization (default = ‘ipopt’)

Returns:

None
