Use the ANSYS simulation software to compute the two-dimensional heat flow inside a steel metallic block with a rectangular-section and a hole at the centre. The simulations are to be carried out using a FINE mesh for the computational domain with additional mesh refinement if necessary.

Use Table 1 to determine the Left Edge temperature, ambient temperature at the Right Edge and in the hole at the centre; and the film heat transfer coefficient on the Top Edge and surface of the hole.

Table 1 Temperature & Film Heat Transfer Coefficient

Use Table 2 to determine the dimensions of the block. The hole is located at the centre of the block cross-section.

Table 2 Block Dimensions

You are required to conduct 2 simulations:

(a) In the first simulation, use the parameters given in Tables 1 & 2.

(b) For the second simulation, change the following parameters:

3 i. Hole Film Heat Transfer Coefficient – 50W/m2 .K

ii. Top Edge Film Heat Transfer Coefficient – 10 W/m2 .K

iii. Bottom Edge Film Heat Transfer Coefficient – 0 W/m2 .K
