12
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 12 Common Modeling System Rocketdyne Received and integrated Rocketdyne’s EASY5 model into CBC EASY5 model Controls Group
13
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 13 New Components Found in New EASY5 Library AD (accumulator with an inlet and outlet), Qin, Qout for both fluid and gas, EFX heat flux PI - Pipe with heat flux VO - Volumes with heat flux
14
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 14 New Accumulator
15
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 15 EASY5 New Components New Parameters: EFX and QIN EFX defines additional energy flux into the volume wall. EFX units are BTUH/in2. QIN defines additional heat generated internally within the fluid. QIN units are BTUH

IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 16 Conclusions EASY5 Test correlation Design tool, test transient conditions Common modeling system New parts specified Recommendation: Continue to use EASY5 to model hydraulic system
17
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 17 Modeling Hydraulic Systems Using EASY5 EASY5 Process Building a Model
18
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 18 EASY5 Process Define system and the EASY5 model objective Build Model by Placing and Linking the Components in the Correct Sequence (use only default or port connection method) Create an Executable File Find an Initial Operating Point (All Time Derivatives = Zero) If the Model Equations Converge, Run a Simulation Plot Any Output As a Function of Time
19
IV EELV Created by Michael Berglund 19 Building the Model Start with simple foundation model, ie, valves for actuators, volumes instead of accumulators, no tabular functions, average values Run to see if results make sense, check with other team members (in the ball park values) Build on model, make more complex if preliminary model checks out Make thermodynamic model as simple as reasonably possible because of potentially large simulation times
