The tube rupture model provided by BOSfluids, the transient pipe flow analysis tool by DRG, has been significantly improved and extended. It can therefore more accurately predict the pressure rise due to rupture of a tube in a heat exchanger. The improved model can account for phase transitions due to flashing and the critical flow conditions that often occur as a result. The improved model also accounts for the friction losses within the tubes.
