the purpose of this study is to identify parameters influence on the particle deposition within fin and tube heat exchanger of air-conditioning systems by cfd analysis. first the basic sketch of periodic geometry drawn and meshing operation including boundary conditions was performed. then the gas side properties and flow parameters were solved by ansys fluent 14.5 software. lagrangian equation...

one of the main architectural characteristics in the central area of iran is the relation between life and climatic conditions; e.g., the four-seasonal house which is a typical kind of the central-yard house. as the climate of isfahan is more pleasant than other desert regions in the central part of iran, wind towers are replaced with skylights to ventilate the pool area of hoze-khane. so far, ...

An analysis of the effect of orientation on the heat transfer in a scaled model pin fin heat sink utilized in Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting has been carried out using numerical method. The present study involves natural convective heat transfer that takes place in particular heat sink. A pin fin type heat sink has been studied since they are widely used in LED lighting systems which in tu...

For the ANSYS CFD codes CFX and Fluent coupling links to several 1D codes exist allowing for a wide range of multi-physics applications. As an example, a flexible coupling infrastructure in terms of supported multiphysics coupling conditions between ANSYS CFX and LMS AMESim is outlined. Examples of the wide range of coupling solutions of ANSYS CFD (CFX and Fluent) and coupled 1D-3D applications...

The present work is carried out to investigate heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of fluid (air) flow through turbulent channel i.e. parallel plate heat exchanger for different geometry and designs parameters, with a bottom plate applied to uniform constant heat flux thermal boundary condition, and upper plate is provided with a insulated condition. The fluid domain is designed u...

The Ogee Spillway is one of the most crucial flood control structures, and it developed at same time as dams. Spillway's downstream portions experience scouring due to flow, a problem that persists in reality. This paper aims investigate hydraulic performance stepped block dissipater using three-dimensional simulation model. dissipated was given new distribution may be one, two, or three rows t...

Regulations and customer demands put pressure on rail designers to deliver passenger coaches with comfortable climates. In the past, Siemens engineers spent about four months testing passenger coaches in a climate wind tunnel to validate the design of the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system. Now they use ANSYS Fluent computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to validate the design ...
