Thermal AnalysisWorkshop 6ANSYS Workbench - SimulationANSYS Workbench - SimulationWorkshop SupplementSteady State Thermal AnalysisWorkshop 6 - GoalsIn this workshop we will analyze the pump housing shown below for its heat transfer characteristics.Specifically a plastic and an aluminum version of the housing will be analyzed using the same boundary conditions.Our goal is to compare the exposed surface temperatures for each configuration and to investigate the distribution of heat flux in the part.February 13, 2004Inventory #002022WS6-ANSYS Workbench - SimulationANSYS Workbench - SimulationWorkshop SupplementSteady State Thermal AnalysisWorkshop 6 - AssumptionsAssumptions:The pump housing is mounted to a pump which is held at a constant 60 deg. C. We assume the mating face on the pump is also held at this temperature.The interior surfaces of the pump are held at a constant temperature of 90 deg. C by the fluid.The exterior surfaces are modeled using a simplified convection correlation for stagnant air at 20 deg. C.February 13, 2004Inventory #002022WS6-ANSYS Workbench - SimulationANSYS Workbench - SimulationWorkshop SupplementSteady State Thermal AnalysisWorkshop 6 - Start PageChoose “A link to a geometry file on my computer or network” and browse to the file “Pump_housing.x_t”.Call the project “Pump_housing” and specify the location provided by the instructor.“Open a new simulation based on the selected geometry”When DS starts, close the Template menu by clicking the X in the corner of the window.Note: by closing the menu we gain some additional space for the graphics view. Also, although we could use the SimWiz to complete this workshop, instructions on manually completing the operations are given.February 13, 2004Inventory #002022WS6-ANSYS Workbench - SimulationANSYS Workbench - SimulationWorkshop SupplementSteady State Thermal AnalysisWorkshop 6 - PreprocessingChange the part material to “Polyethylene”:1.Highlight “Part1”2.In the Detail window “Material” field “browse . . .”3.“Open” material “Polyethylene”.123February 13, 2004Inventory #002022WS6-ANSYS Workbench - SimulationANSYS Workbench - SimulationWorkshop SupplementSteady State Thermal AnalysisWorkshop 6 - Environment4.Select the interior (13) surfaces of the pump housing (hint: use adjacent select).5.“RMB Insert Given Temperature”.6.Set “Magnitude” field to 90 C.645February 13, 2004Inventory #002022WS6-ANSYS Workbench - SimulationANSYS Workbench - SimulationWorkshop SupplementSteady State Thermal Analysis. . .
