Heat Exchanger Efficiency

This example guides you through creating and performing an internal fluid flow simulation with heat exchange on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

You will learn how to:

• Use the Assistant to create a simulation that models the mechanical forces and dynamics of steady-state fluid flow.
• Define a fluid region internal to your model.
• Assign a material to the fluid section.
• Specify the physics of the flow, including thermal effects.
• Apply boundary conditions.
• Create a mesh of the fluid region.
• Request data output for pertinent variables.
• Check and run a simulation.
• Generate plots to view the pressure, temperature, flow velocity, and streamline contours of the fluid flow.
