AxCYCLE

AxCYCLE is user-friendly thermodynamic simulation software that allows users to quickly and easily design, analyze and optimize various thermodynamic cycles (thermodynamic simulation and heat balance calculations) using limited amount of known data. The solutions of the software are as follows.

• Designing a thermodynamic cycle from scratch
• Ability to analyze the performance of existing thermodynamic systems in design and non-design conditions
• Designing, optimizing and reorganizing energy facilities
• Troubleshoot or fix efficiency and reliability issues in existing hardware

AxSTREAM NET

AxSTREAM® NET is a 1-dimensional system modeling analyzer based on the finite volume method, using a thermo-fluid network approach to simulate secondary flows and heat transfer in stationary and non-stationary conditions. The absence of 3D geometry allows the use of blade geometry before finalizing, while providing good accuracy in results in a very short calculation time. 

• Some application examples are as follows.
• Heat exchangers
• Secondary air systems
• Anti-icing systems
• Turbine secondary flows
• Generators
• Lubrication systems etc.
