How to perform thermal-flow analysis of plate heat exchangers using ANSYS
Thread Content
1. How should the boundary conditions be set? 2. Settings for the inlet speed and outlet pressure? 3. Can the results of the temperature field analysis be superimposed on the temperature distribution obtained from the flow field?
For fluid analysis, it is recommended to use the Fluent software. Although this software has been acquired by ANSYS, the algorithms used in the two programs are different: Fluent employs the finite volume method, while ANSYS uses the finite element method, and ANSYS is not as strong when it comes to calculating fluid heat transfer. Setting boundary conditions requires in-depth theoretical knowledge as well as the proper use of software; learning to use software is also a process of learning. It is recommended to read \"Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis\"
