Dear all,
Currently i have one model simulate air cooler for generator.
Actually the cooler contain ~400 pipes. There is one blower put at inlet ~3.3m3/s.
The housing normally generates heat ~50000W.
I would like to check the cooler performance but seem there is issue with BC set up and fluid zone.
I can not set up goal for air temperature in housing.
and after i did the analysis with transient, try with cut plot, there is no information temperature for housing.
Please have a look and advise.
Tks,
Try steady state. Maybe the transient time isn't long enough to see a large temperature change.
I would also take a look at your mesh size. Is it too large? You want finer elements around and through the pipes. Try Local Initial Mesh.
I don't exactly understand what temperature goal you're trying to apply. Try a volume goal for fluid temperature in the housing. Model in a dummy solid and use component control to keep it out of the analysis.
