Do some 3D Modelling And CFD

Resources required: CFD program, existing experimental data Introduction Point1:- One of the simplest type of heat exchangers is the tubular pipe. There are two types of flow for this setup, co-current and counter-current. Co-current is when both fluids flow in the same direction and counter – current is when the fluids flow in opposite directions. Aim Point 2:-The aim of this particular project is to investigate the thermal performance of tubular heat exchangers using numerical simulation and measured data from previous experiments. CFD analysis will be used to try to find the best configuration of such systems. Objective • Build a mathematical model using Ansys for the simulation. • Point 3:- Compare the parallel flow and counter flow configurations for the same set-up. • Point 4:- Analyse the performance with the change of entry fluid temperatures and other parameters including (flow rates, fluid thermal properties, dimensions, ambient temperature, etc.). Methodology Point 5:-Review of existing types of heat exchangers and particularly tubular ones. Research on previous experiments and collection of available experimental data. Create a numerical model on Ansys. Carry out CFD simulations. Point 6:-Use simulation results for the conclusion and recommendations on the use of such devices.
