FEA Thermal Analysis

Stockcode:

Heat transfer is one of the most common physical phenomena. Thermal analysis can provide useful information for the design of an engineering product:

> Temperature distributions.
> Heat flux paths – important information in evaluating insulations.
> As a boundary condition for the analysis of thermal stress.

Thermal analyses provide very useful information in the following applications:

> Chemical plants
> Burners and combustors.
> Heat exchangers.
> Undersea insulation systems.

Thermal analyses have become increasingly important as designers push for higher performance machines. This means that a good understanding of temperature distribution and thermal loads can often be vital. An incorrect constraint in a system working under elevated temperature can lead to unexpected high thermal stress which may lead to failure.

The accuracy of thermal analyses is highly dependent on correct boundary conditions being defined. Engineers in TriVista Engineering have experience in calculating thermal boundary condition using classical 1D calculation or alternately using CFD to find out more accurate boundary conditions.

Thermal analysis can be performed using FEA or CFD. FEA method is often preferred when evaluating thermal stress is the main purpose of the analysis or the boundary conditions are well defined. CFD is a better method in estimating flow boundary conditions (heat transfer coefficient and fluid temperature) when the flow or structure geometry is complex.Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) can be used for flow simulation first to give accurate thermal boundary condition then followed with stress analysis. FSI will be more demanding on computing resources.
