A unified flow and thermal analysis software package has been developed. The software package employs both a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code with a two phase flow capability and a Boundary Element Method (BEM) thermal analysis. The CFD code will determine the three dimensional flow field, typical properties of the flow that will be determined with the CFD code are velocity, pressure, temperature and particle distribution. This will allow predicting heat transfer rates which will be used to compute internal temperature distribution using a transient two dimensional BEM computer code. This design tool has application in a broad range of technology areas.
