Flow Modelling in a Heat Exchanger Tutorial using ANSYS-CFX
|
Heat exchanger flow simulation, here is the latest tutorial for how to model a flow in a heat exchanger. Heat exchangers are used extensively in things around us they are also studied to a certain detail in engineering applications, their development is also of interest to lots engineering design companies. They are used in cars, in planes, in boilers, in ships, in refrigeration systems, in air conditioning systems, in power stations, in oil refineries, in space applications, in renewable energy applications …. etc.
Notes about the tutorial: Regarding the choice of pressure outlet boundary condition: I Just wanted to propose a method to show how to calculate the relative pressure at the outlet section, you can apply what boundary condition you find suitable for your case. Changing the used fluid for simulation can be done by : Selecting another fluid in the simulation setup section, right click the default domain Icon under the Flow Analysis 1 title. |
