Who is the course for

Engineers or designers who are interested in modelling the flow around furnaces, electronic components, chemical reactions, air conditioning systems or temperature driven buoyancy flows. The course aims to give the attendees a hands-on approach on modeling heat transfer problems using ANSYS CFX. Heat transfer between two fluids, fluids and solids through conduction, convection and radiation are discussed.

Duration

1 day
