Overview
What can a simple split air conditioner teach us about heat transfer? More than you might expect! Every time an AC cools a room, it is orchestrating a fascinating thermal process involving heat movement, energy exchange, and fluid flow.
This webinar explores the fundamentals of heat transfer through the familiar example of a split air conditioning system. Attendees will learn how heat moves between air, solid surfaces, and the refrigerant, and how engineers use governing heat transfer equations to describe these processes. Using ANSYS Fluent, the webinar then demonstrates how CFD simulation can visualize temperature, airflow, heat flux, and overall thermal performance, connecting theory to practical engineering analysis and optimization.
What Attendees Will Learn
- Understand the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer through a real-world split air conditioning system.
- Explore the governing heat transfer and energy equations used in thermal analysis.
- Learn how ANSYS Fluent models and solves heat transfer problems using CFD.
- Visualize temperature distributions, airflow patterns, and heat transfer phenomena through simulation.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is ideal for educators teaching heat transfer, thermodynamics, and thermal-fluid sciences in Mechanical, Aerospace, Aeronautical, and related engineering disciplines. Engineers, researchers, and students interested in applying these concepts using Ansys Fluent would also benefit from this webinar.
