Hydrodynamic and Thermal Analysis in Pipe Flow using ANSYS Software

Abstract

This paper describes the thermal analysis of fluid flowing through a sudden expansion of pipe. Also the relation between velocity and pressure has been taken into consideration with changing the expansion ratio. All analysis has been done by using ANSYS 14.5 in axi-symmetric 2D model, using K-eplison equation for the turbulent flow. Pressure and velocity contour has been shown in this paper and fluid is considered as AIR.
