CFD analysis options to determine thermal parameters of power equipment

Original language description

The paper deals with determining thermal parameters of heat exchanger (in this case cooler) using CFD analysis in ANSYS Fluent software. The geometry of passive cooler has been designed, in which there are grooves and bulkheads to increase the heat transfer surface. Flowing medium was VG 46 oil, i.e. it is the oil cooler. The influence of various computational meshes and the influence of the ventilator velocity on the temperature gradient between the inlet and the outlet and other parameters were evaluated. The basic calculations for the heat exchanger (heaters, coolers,...) designing includes the determination of the heat transfer coefficient through the wall. This paper deals with the definition and application of a mathematical model including the heat transfer (conduction and convection) at the heat exchanger. Convection and conduction is the transfer of thermal energy from one fluid separated by a solid wall from a second fluid. Heat transfer between a solid surface and a liquid (gaseous) environment is a complicated process, in which occurs a fluid movement. We divide forced convection and free convection. In this case it is forced convection, i.e. the movement of the fluid is externally induced by a pump or ventilator. In CFD analysis there are important parameters and conditions of all environments such as temperatures of both liquids, flow rates, wall temperatures, thermal conductivity coefficient, wall thickness and wall area. Using CFD analysis it is possible to determine the heat transfer coefficients on the air side and other parameters such as the Nusselt number. (C) 2019 Author(s).
