Temperature results
Temperature difference between interior and exterior
surface for the whole thermal cycle.
The maximum temperature difference occurs 2 times per
cycle so number of cycles are doubled

CFD: Flash Tank
Flow path lines here illustrate the general flow path followed by the
fluid from the inlets up to the outlets.
As expected, a vertical flow is initially generated in the tank and the
entrance to the outlet vent, however this effect diminishes by the
time the flow reaches the outlet.
