Lab Sheet For Computational Fluid Dynamics: College of Engineering Pune

This document contains a lab sheet for a computational heat conduction simulation. It describes a 1D and 2D simulation of heat transfer through a steel plate. For the 1D simulation, four cases with different boundary conditions and volumetric heat generation are studied. For the 2D simulation, another four cases are studied and results are to be reported by plotting steady state temperature contours and preparing a table with heat transfer and energy balance details. The effect of volumetric heat generation on the results is also to be discussed for both the 1D and 2D simulations.

1-D Computational Heat Conduction (CHC):


Consider a 1D Cartesian computational domain of size L=1 m, for CHC transient simulation in a thin (in xdirection) long steel plate (density: 7750 kg/m3, specific-heat: 500 J/Kg K, thermal-conductivity: 16.2 W/m-K.
The plate is taken from a furnace at a temperature of 150 0C (initial-condition) and is subjected to various thermal
boundary conditions and volumetric heat generation; shown in a table below.
Develop the code for the above problem, run the code for four different boundary-conditions (Cases), given as:
