Description
Description
In this project, the steady cooling process of hot water flow in a fin pipe radiator is investigated by ANSYS Fluent software.
Due to the high computational cost, only one fin pipe of a radiator is simulated. The present model is designed in three dimensions using Design Modeler software.
The geometry for analyzing this simulation consists of a room and a balcony. The meshing of the model has been done using ANSYS Meshing software.
The mesh type used for this geometry is structured, and the element number is 290250.
Fin Pipe Methodology
The Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) analysis type allows for the simulation of heat transfer between solid and fluid domains by exchanging thermal energy at the interfaces between them.
In this project, water flows in the pipe between concentric fins while free convection boundary condition is imposed at the fin surface. Also, the water inside the pipe exchanges heats with the fin based on forced convection.
Water enters and exits the domain with a temperature equal to 327K and 326.6214K, respectively. Moreover, the standard k-epsilon model and energy equation are enabled to solve the turbulent fluid equation and calculate temperature distribution within the tube and the fins.
Fin Pipe Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, two and three-dimensional contours related to the velocity, temperature, pressure, and velocity vectors are obtained.
Based on the calculated data, the Water mass flow rate at the inlet is 0.0783 kg/s.
Water temperature at the inlet and outlet is equal to 327K and 326.6K respectively which is the result of a heat transfer rate equal to 124 w for the steady cooling process.
The first and the second graphs show the fins and fluid temperature as a function of position, respectively.

After reading the review on the Fin Pipe Radiator CFD Simulation using ANSYS Fluent training, I am left with one key question: Was the effect of radiator placement within the room considered in the simulation and does the training address how to evaluate the influence of environmental factors like room temperature on the heat transfer process?
MR CFD Support –
While the simulation focuses on the steady cooling process within the radiator itself, it does take into account the interaction with the surrounding environment by introducing free convection boundary conditions at the fins surface. The software ANSYS Fluent goes further by allowing the simulation of the entire fin pipe and its interaction with room temperature, taking into account environmental factors. This includes demonstrating how facility placement within different areas of a room can influence heat transfer. The training material should provide you approaches to evaluate these scenarios, offering insights on incorporating complex environmental variables into the simulations for comprehensive CHT analyses.

Chelsea Johnson –
I found the simulation results fascinating, with the detailed temperature and velocity contours. The heat transfer rate calculated to be 124 w for a steady cooling process is impressive. What I’d like to know is whether the ambient temperature and properties of the air in the room were considered in the simulation for calculating free convection?
MR CFD Support –
In the preparation of this simulation called the Fin Pipe Radiator, external environmental factors, such as the ambient temperature and air properties, indeed play a significant role. The simulation and training module would involve setting up an external environment which may include room temperature, properties of the air, and possible interactions at the boundaries of the radiator fins, which contribute to the assessment and calculations of the free convection cooling phenomena of the radiator.

Prof. Ardella Rolfson –
I started working with ANSYS Fluent recently, and I’m impressed with the application of CHT in this example. Can you explain how the heat transfer coefficient is determined in the simulation?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation, the heat transfer coefficient is calculated based on the flow properties – such as velocity, viscosity, and thermal conductivity – as well as the geometry of the fins and the pipes. The simulation leverages the standard k-epsilon model for turbulent flow which impacts the heat transfer coefficient. It results from the interaction of the flowing fluid with the solid surfaces and the related boundary layers that develop, and is an outcome of the Conjugate Heat Transfer analysis in ANSYS Fluent.
