Fin Pipe Radiator Conjugated Heat Transfer CFD Simulation

Explore the complexities of Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) in this advanced ANSYS Fluent tutorial featuring a fin pipe radiator. This session highlights the simultaneous simulation of heat transfer in both solid and fluid domains, a critical aspect in many thermal management applications.

Key focus areas:

Understanding the principles of Conjugate Heat Transfer
Analyzing heat transfer between the fluid inside the pipe, the pipe wall, and the surrounding air
Simulating temperature distribution across the fin pipe radiator system

You’ll learn to:

Set up a CHT simulation using a pre-designed fin pipe radiator model
Define boundary conditions for internal flow, external air, and solid components
Configure appropriate models for conjugate heat transfer
Interpret temperature contours and heat flux distributions across different domains
Evaluate the overall heat transfer effectiveness of the fin pipe radiator

This tutorial provides in-depth insights into modeling complex heat transfer scenarios involving multiple domains and phases. By the end of this session, you’ll have hands-on experience in simulating and analyzing Conjugate Heat Transfer, enhancing your understanding of advanced thermal management techniques applicable to radiators, heat exchangers, and other multi-domain thermal systems.
