Experimental Setup for Heat Transfer Analysis on Rectangular Plate by Natural Convection (original) (raw)

This paper represents the profiled activity accomplished by natural convection and it has the major broad application in the field of engineering and technology. In natural convection the fluid which surrounds the heat source receives heat radiations as its density decreases by temperature gradient as a result the air becomes less dense and forms its provisions for escape and the process continuously takes place for regular intervals, as the cold fluid is made readily available for heat contact and its geometric figure mainly depends on design, and analysis. Thermal analysis is done on the Rectangular flat plate materials used for the process is made of brass which is an alloy of copper and zinc as the brass is non-ferrous metal with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength the thermal conductivity of brass is 109 (w/mk) by which the brass has the excellent thermal conductivity and is a first choice for heat exchangers. The design task of rectangular plate can be accomplished in Catia V5R21 software as it is being end up by making its geometrical model and the thermal behavior is studied in ansys 2020 R1 Academic software Fluent database. CFD analysis is to determine the pressure drop, velocity, heat transfer rate and mass flow rate for the rectangular plate. Thermal analysis is to determine the heat flux and temperature distribution along the rectangular plate. Its post processing gives out the study on contours of various parameters and its values. The charts are prepared by plotting the parameters values on Y axis against the X axis.
