Conjugate heat transfer and vortex flow

Hello all,

 

I am working on an invention that removes CO2 from your breath with liquid oxygen. 

 

The air flow would be chilled to just above the freezing point of CO2 at its low partial pressure (-80 to -90 C) by a heat exchanger. Then the flow would be induced into a vortex, where the pressure and temperature drop in the core generates CO2 ice particles that are centrifuged outward to the tube wall. 

 

Would AcuSolve be capable of simulating that kind of flow with imported CAD models, and what modules would I need?

    This would require solver with multiphase and phase transition. AcuSolve would not be simulate this currently.
