Conjugate Heat Transfer (legacy)

Conjugate heat transfer (legacy) has been replaced by Conjugate Heat Transfer v2.0 and will shortly no longer be available for use. You can only see it here as you have been granted access based on an exceptional condition. Therefore we strongly recommend to use CHT v2.0 as a default and consult with your simscale support staff if you feel Conjugate Heat Transfer (legacy) is required for your application. | Page 84

- What is the project goal
The project goal is to simulate the three basic modes of heat transfers occurring on a radiator: Conduction through the tube walls, Convention due to water flowing in the tubes and the second convection caused by the air flowing through the radiator.

-Simulation type
Because of the heat transfer between the solid of the radiator, and the fluid flowing inside, the chosen simulation type is the Conjugate Heat Tranfer.

-Project details
The fluid that is flowing through the radiator is water. It enters the radiator at 40 degrees celsius at a flow rate of 2.8 kg/s.  The air flowing outside the radiator is at an ambient temperature of 19.28 degrees celsius, moving at 0.5 m/s.
