(BQ) Part 2 book "Engineering analysis with ANSYS" has contents: Analysis for fluid dynamics, application of ANSYS to thermo mechanics, application of ANSYS to contact between machine elements. | Chapter 5 Analysis for Fluid Dynamics Chapter outline Introduction Analysis of flow structure in a diffuser Analysis of flow structure in a channel with a butterfly valve 215 216 242 Introduction arious fluids such as air and liquid are used as an operating fluid in a blower, a compressor, and a pump. The shape of flow channel often determines the efficiency of these machines. In this chapter, the flow structures in a diffuser and the channel with a butterfly valve are examined by using FLOTRAN which is an assistant program of ANSYS. A diffuser is usually used for increasing the static pressure by reducing the fluid velocity and the diffuser can be easily found in a centrifugal pump as shown in Figure .

Shape of the flow channel: (1) Diffuser shape is axisymmetric and conical, diffuser angle 2θ = 6◦ , expansion ratio = 4. (2) Diameter of entrance of the diffuser: DE = m. (3) Length of straight channel for entrance: . (4) Length of diffuser region: . (5) Length of straight channel for exit: . Operating fluid: Air (300 K) Flow field: Turbulence Velocity at the entrance: 20 m/s Reynolds number: × 105 (assumed to set the diameter of the diffuser entrance to a representative length) Boundary conditions: (1) Velocities in all directions are zero on all walls. (2) Pressure is equal to zero at the exit. (3) Velocity in the y direction is zero on the x-axis. Create a model for analysis Command SELECT KIND OF ANALYSIS ANSYS Main Menu → .
