Where is Flownex used?
Flownex is a system and sub-system simulation tool used to design and integrate thermal hydraulic systems.
Flownex enables engineers to predict, design and optimise for; flow rates, pressures, temperatures, and heat transfer rates in any fluid system.
Flownex can design and optimize closed and open loop flow and heat transfer systems with any amount of branching flows (diverging and converging) and inlets and outlets. Such systems include anything from ventilation systems, water and gas distribution systems up to boiler designs and complete power generation cycles.

Flownex provided M-Tech the first-to-market advantage by providing clients in the mining industry proof of the economical benefit associated with the Air Cooling Units. Flownex provided quick solutions of the existing Chilling Water Cars, proving its accuracy compared to the operational data. Having confidence in the Flownex's capability to accurately predict similar system performances, Flownex was used to evaluate the business case of Air Cooling Units when it is implemented at depths in excess of 2km compared to the existing Chilling Water Cars utilized in the mining industry. The business case involved detailed calculations of a customized network specific to each clients needs. The influence of the addition or omission of surface cooling towers and chillers on the power consumption of the proposed system incorporating Air Cooling Units were illustrated to each client based on their unique requirements.
