Energy Sources

rosa · January 3, 2018, 16:06

Hello there,

There are several energy source in combustion section. I have read some manuals about g-equation and other types, but there wasn't any equivalency between these types of sources.
For example, if I use the "passive" energy source, type of "G-EQN", it asks me a value and Max. passive value. How much joule would be by using the passive? How is passive G-EQN related to joule?

Regards

Hi, Rosa,
If you are using passive source with type "G-EQN", the the unit for the value and max value are both (meters, m), meaning the distance to the flame. The related energy will be calculated based on the G-equation model.
