Workshop 6.1 - Goals

• In this workshop we will analyze the pump housing shown below for its heat transfer characteristics.

• Specifically a plastic and an aluminum version of the housing will be analyzed using the same boundary conditions.

• Our goal is to compare the exposed surface temperatures for each configuration and to investigate the distribution of heat flux in the part.

Workshop 6.1 - Assumptions

Assumptions:

• The pump housing is mounted to a pump which is held at a constant 60 deg. C. We assume the mating face on the pump is also held at this temperature.

• The interior surfaces of the pump are held at a constant temperature of 90 deg. C by the fluid.

• The exterior surfaces are modeled using a simplified convection correlation for stagnant air at 20 deg. C.

Workshop 6.1 – Duplicate Model

• Before solving we will duplicate the model and specify a different material for the pump housing. This will allow us to compare the responses for each.

18. Highlight the “Model” branch.

19. “RMB > Duplicate”.

20. From the new branch “Model2” highlight “Part1”

21. In the detail window “Import” the material “Aluminum Alloy”.

Workshop 6.1 - Postprocessing

• When the solutions are complete, inspect the temperature plots and compare. It can be seen quickly that the choice of material in this case has a significant effect.

. . . Workshop 6.1 - Postprocessing

• A similar comparison of the heat flux in each model points up differences. Here a vector heat flux plot is shown in wireframe mode. Note how much of the energy in the aluminum model is returned via the mating face.

Workshop Supplement



• To better view the exterior surface temperatures we will employ scoping as in previous workshops.

23. Select the outside (32) surfaces of the pump housing (use extend to limits).

24. “RMB > Insert > Thermal > Temperature” (note the scope of the new result now indicates “32 Faces” rather than “All Bodies”

• Using RMB, copy/paste the new result into Model 2 Solution branch. Notice the scope of the result remains in tact.

• Solve from the Project branch.
