We have talked about conjugate heat transfer in a recent post. In this post, we will look at a similar example and perform a steady-state thermal analysis on a copper heat exchanger as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Heat exchanger (transparent mode). The heat exchanger is used to transfer heat between air and water. … Continue reading A Heat Exchanger in SolidWorks Flow Simulation

Conjugate Heat Transfer in SolidWorks Flow Simulation
Conjugate heat transfer is the combination of convection and conduction heat exchange. By default, SolidWorks Flow Simulation considers the heat transfer due to convection within a fluid, however, it does not consider conduction through solids. This option must be selected when defining the analysis type in the Wizard (see Figure 2). For example, in this … Continue reading Conjugate Heat Transfer in SolidWorks Flow Simulation
