CFD ANALYSIS OF DUCT.
Duct CFD analysis aimed to optimize airflow and thermal performance, leveraging material properties for water vapor and solid components. The study focused on achieving maximum velocity, especially near nozzles A1, A2, B1, and B2, while addressing low-temperature regions. The initial temperature stood at 104.14°C, and improvements led to a notable rise to approximately 377.31 K (104.31°C).
Methodology
The analysis considered key material properties, including water vapor density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity, alongside solid properties such as pipe insulation thickness, heat transfer coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Maximum velocity, a crucial factor, reached around 54 m/s near the outlet, showcasing effective design adjustments. The optimization near nozzles was instrumental in achieving enhanced velocity, contributing to an overall improvement in thermal performance. The correlation between the material and solid properties played a pivotal role in these outcomes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our CFD analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of strategic adjustments in enhancing airflow and thermal dynamics within the duct. The optimization near specific nozzles resulted in improved velocity, addressing the low-temperature regions observed in the initial analysis. The notable increase in temperature from 104.14°C to approximately 377.31 K (104.31°C) indicates the success of the design modifications. This case study underscores the significance of comprehensive CFD analysis and thoughtful design adjustments for optimizing duct performance.
