ANSYS Solar Air Heater Simulation
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need an ANSYS-based CFD and thermal model of a double-pass solar air heater that I can line up against my lab data for validation. The emphasis is on how the absorber plate behaves: I want to see how its temperature field and its ability to pick up solar radiation shift when I run different air mass-flow rates through the duct. From that same sweep I also expect clear trends on overall efficiency.
we have the design with us. you need to simulate with the boundary conditions in ANSYS
Here is the scope as I see it. Start by recreating the geometry, radiation load and boundary conditions used in my experiment. Once the base case is matching the measured outlet-air temperature and pressure drop, move into a parametric study on the absorber plate. Keep the duct layout fixed and vary only what influences plate performance so the cause-and-effect stays obvious.
For every simulated point please extract temperature rise, local and average heat-transfer coefficients, thermal efficiency and pressure loss. I will use these numbers to benchmark improvements.
Deliverables
• Validated ANSYS workbench project (CFD + thermal) with all setups, materials and mesh files ready to re-run
• Parametric run files and output data covering the full range of mass-flow rates
• Short report that cross-plots simulation vs. experiment and highlights the impact on temperature distribution, absorbed solar radiation and global efficiency
Acceptance will be based on the simulated outlet temperature staying within ±5 % of my measured value in the baseline case and a clear, documented trend across the flow-rate variations.
