Objective: 1. To perform a Conjugate Heat Transfer simulation for a flow through a solid pipe and to perform a grid-dependence test on the simulation. 2. To understand the concept of super-cycling and to study the effect of the super-cycle stage interval on the simulation result. 1. Problem Definition Air is flowing through…

Objective: 1. To calculate the ignition delay time for the auto-ignition of methane and to study the trend of variation of ignition time delay using Python and Cantera for the following conditions;   1.1 A constant temperature of 1250 K and pressure varying from 1 to 5 atm.   1.2 A constant pressure of 5 atm…

Objective: To set up and run a channel flow simulation using Converge CFD and to post-process the results using Paraview for three different mesh sizes, and also to compare the results. The mesh sizes for simulation are as follows; 1. dx = 2e-4; dy = 2e-4; dz = 2e-4 2. dx = 1.5e-4; dy = 1.5e-4; dy = 1.5e-4 3. dx = 1.2e-4;…

Objective:  To derive the Reynold\'s Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations Solution: The Reynold\'s Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are NS equations that are time-averaged after applying Reynold\'s decomposition technique to the General NS equations. Solving the Navier-Stokes equations directly (Direct Numerical…
