CFD Analysis of Temperature Variation in Semi-Circular Fins Under Forced Convection
Roma Singh, Umang Singh
Abstract: The present work gives the importance of the temperature variation in semi-circular fins under forced convection. The study includes the effect of number of semi-circular fins circumscribing the pipe on the temperature variation. The comparison has been made with the circular and the number of semi-circular fins circumscribing the pipe on the temperature variation. Fluid flowing over the fins has been consider as the forced convection and the tube side fluid has been taken as hot water flowing at constant temperature. CFD analysis has been carried out using the 2D domain on Ansys Fluent 14.5 software.
