Tutorial project for a flow analysis of a pipe junction. The project only provides the geometry to start with. See our tutorials section to have a look at the step-by-step instructions to set up the simulation.

- What is the project goal
The project goal is to simulate the three basic modes of heat transfers occurring on a radiator: Conduction through the tube walls, Convention due to water flowing in the tubes and the second convection caused by the air flowing through the radiator.

-Simulation type
Because of the heat transfer between the solid of the radiator, and the fluid flowing inside, the chosen simulation type is the Conjugate Heat Tranfer.

-Project details
The fluid that is flowing through the radiator is water. It enters the radiator at 40 degrees celsius at a flow rate of 2.8 kg/s.  The air flowing outside the radiator is at an ambient temperature of 19.28 degrees celsius, moving at 0.5 m/s.
