Application of ANSYS to thermo-mechanics

Abstract

This chapter deals with solved examples pertaining to heat transfer and flow in engineering structures. First, a basic introduction to characteristic features of heat transfer problems is given. Next, five problems are solved spanning a wide area of thermo-mechanics. The first solved example concerns heat transfer through two adjacent walls. Temperature distribution within the walls together with the heat fluxes for each wall is determined. The second solved problem illustrates steady-state thermal analysis at the location of an intersection between two pipes. The objective is to find out the temperature distribution at the junction. The third example deals with heat dissipation through ...
