Cryogenic line chilldown with conjugate HT
Objective: chill down a warm cryogenic transfer line while resolving the pipe-wall temperature.
Steps
- Build an LN2 line from inlet to outlet.
- Add solid wall nodes and solid-fluid conductors along the pipe.
- Set the wall initial temperature to 300 K and enable two-phase flow.
- Solve transient.
Expected result
A two-phase front moves down the line as the wall cools from 300 K toward 80 K — no external FEA tool required.
