About this technology
Overview
Astronautics Corporation uses SINDA '85/FLUINT to model designs for efficient magnetic refrigeration devices. The proposed designs are compared for relative efficiency, and the best concept is selected. SINDA is later used to develop a more complex model for predicting temperature distribution in the refrigeration.
