Quick flux calculation for real time feedback Injector hole pattern Intersection of jets on platen Injector design “jets.txt” files can be imported Various ways of transforming data Tabs select various functions Jet number gets entered automatically by program as you enter the other data.
Parameters for calculation
Results of 2 dimensional calculation Platen can be non-rotated, rotated, or partially rotated
Diameter plot for rotating platen Tweak up and down
Checks for intersection of holes Input hole diameter, plate thickness, and the minimum acceptable clearance
To change axes on plots: Highlight value and type in new value. These controls autoscale the axes. The lock toggles between autoscale and fixed scale There are also zoom controls Right clicking on table pops-up a menu for manipulating data
Scale. Useful for adding small Increments of angle on selected jets. Create series. Useful for creating rings of holes or for spirals. Multi-series. Alternates between 2 or 3 different values. Green button selects 2 or 3 values. Randomize order of values in a selection You get one “undo” for any of these transformations All of these controls work on the data that Is selected in the table
Blue curve is a reference you can save to see if changes are helping or hurting. Changes injector design back to stored design Stores current designHide reference
When you first start the program you need to calculate the flux curve otherwise it is all zeros. (even though the graph shows a curve to start)
Cartesian and polar plots of the flux distribution from each hole. Data can be read in from external files. Data should be relative flux vs. angle in degrees. 2 different models are included in program.
Efficiency calculation calculates fraction of intercepted flux vs. platen radius.
