Thermal Problem in ANSYS
Thermal Problem in ANSYS
(OP)
Hi,
Is it possible to find the internal temperature of a hollow Steel tube at 200 F filled with air at ambient temperature and figure out how long the internal air temperature will take to reach 200 F without using CFD in ANSYS?
Thanks,
Mike

CFD should only be required if you are needing to simulate convection. For your case I am pretty sure Ansys can do a transient heat transfer involving only radiation, but you might want to include conduction as well because it would be more accurate and would involve only adding a temperature boundary condition. The thermal conductivity for steel and air should already be provided by default for Ansys.
Hope this helps,
Steve
