Tutorial 3

This document outlines the setup and simulation of a cryogenic transfer line chilldown in GFSSP software. It describes building a model of the transfer line as a series of fluid and solid nodes, with fluid-solid convection and solid-solid conduction. Boundary conditions of inlet pressure and temperature and outlet pressure and temperature are applied. Initial conditions and pipe properties such as length, diameter, and material are also defined. The results will show the transient pressure, temperature, and flow rate during chilldown, as well as the fluid and solid temperature histories and vapor quality over time.
