Week 6 - CHT Analysis on a Graphics card
Perform a steady-state conjugate heat transfer analysis on a model of a graphics card. You can use appropriate materials of your choice for the simulation. Make sure to properly define the correct solid and fluid zones. Refer the video for further clarification and the model is provided below the video.
Run the simulation for best possible mesh with combination of coarse and refined mesh in different regions. Explain the reason for choosing the particular mesh settings.
Your Objectives:
- Run the simulation by varying the velocity from 1m/sec to 5m/sec for at least 3 velocities and discuss the results.
- Find out the maximum temperature and heat transfer coefficient attained by the processor.
- Prove that the simulation has achieved convergence with appropriate images and plots.
- Identify potential hotspots on the model.
PS: The model has been updated so that you can perform the analysis on an academic license.
