Isometric view of the static mixer.
Boundary conditions of the static mixer.
Background
Background
This is an assignment for my ME-441 Computer Simulation and Analysis class. In the Computer Simulation and Analysis class ANSYS Workbench and Discovery AIM were used extensively to simulate. Instructions were provided, and sometimes the models, either from Creo Parametric or SolidWorks, were provided as well. Some assignments however need the objects to be modelled from scratch or modified before hand.
The assignment
The assignment
In this assignment, a static mixer undergoes a flow analysis using ANSYS AIM Fluid Flow. The fluid used here is water. The inlet on the left is "inlet 1", while the inlet on the right is "inlet 2". The outlet is the tube on the bottom of the mixer. In inlet 1, the water enters at 2 m/s and at a temperature of 315 K. In inlet 2, the water enters at 2 m/s and at a temperature of 285 K. Water exits the outlet at a pressure of 0 Pa.
When meshing the boundary layer is applied on all face expect the circular faces of the inlets and outlet. The boundary conditions shown in the image include the aforementioned inlets and outlets, as well as a wall for the body of the static mixer.
Results
Results
The results of this assignment include an unvalued streamline, banded temperature contour in the middle of the mixer and at the outlet, two velocity vectors; one in the middle of the mixer and the other encompassing the whole body, a temperature, velocity, and pressure streamline, and the average velocity, temperature, and maximum pressure at the outlet.
