How Can SolidWorks Help Calculate Air Flow in a Hamster Cage?

AI Thread Summary
SolidWorks can be utilized to calculate airflow in a hamster cage by employing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, specifically using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for accurate results. Key objectives include improving oxygen levels, reducing odors, and minimizing bacterial growth through antimicrobial design. To achieve this, calculations can be based on Bernoulli's equation and Darcy-Weisbach equations. Learning to effectively use SolidWorks' fluid simulation tool is essential for implementing these calculations in the design. For further guidance on ventilation and HVAC design, resources are available at engineershouse.com.

Hi

I'm creating a hamster cage for better ventilation(circulation) without too much flow.(draft)
How would I work out mathematically the air flow going into a plastic box. The flow rate etc..
The plastic box will be inside a normal home.

Things I want to know and improve
The overall oxygen level
Reducing smell/bacteria growth-antimicrobial
Implement calculations in a superior design.

Thanks
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
mathematically speaking in order to study such a simulation you need a CFD simulation using LES model for better expectations or you can make the design theoretically without getting into details using Bernoulli's equation and Darcy Weisbach equations, for more information on ventilation design in specific and HVAC design in general visit : http://www.engineershouse.com/
 
I'm using solidworks, i thought that would be the best way.
Just have to learn how to use the fluid simulation tool

Thanks

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
