@HVAC-Novice, EES would be an amazing tool to help out with this, unfortunately it is out of my budget range. Again, personal project here.
@Alistair_Heaton, very cool to see! Is that the CS300? The controls look very similar to that on my 747-200, which is amusing. Aside of digital...
@MintJulep fair enough, that was not something I had considered but it does make sense. My research continues...
@LittleInch, yes this is very true, airflow from the engines does reduce efficiency because the compressor has to turn faster (and therefore use more fuel) to generate the same...
My product definitely does not require an extreme level a detail, but the more detailed/accurate I can get, the happier I personally am [smile]
An empirical approach is probably the simplest way, and indeed I am willing to accept a vastly simplified version of the system provided it can...
This was originally posted at the engineering stack exchange.
I am currently modeling a high fidelity simulation of the Boeing 747-200 for a flight simulator, and I am now at the stage of programming what is essentially the HVAC system for the aircraft.
I will try to keep aviation jargon out...
