THERMAL OPTIMIZATION OF HEAT SINK’S USING SOLIDWORKS FLOW SIMULATION

Image
SolidWorks Flow Simulation helps Designers in Evaluating the performance of the fins of a solid body that is generating heat. Using SolidWorks Flow Simulation, we can accurately capture the thin walls of the geometry by its advanced meshing algorithm . (Refer to Image 1- We can Enable minimum wall thickness of the model geometry) Image 1:   Automatic Mesh Image 2: Thin Wall Optimization   Mesh SolidWorks Flow Simulation also provides the manual mesh type option for the users who require additional accuracy due to stringent design criteria. Using manual mesh type, users can add the control planes (Refer to image 3) at the required locations. Image 3:   Manual   Mesh Image 4: After Applying Control   Plane Result: Benefits: Ø Identify the thermal hotspots of your   products. Ø Engineers can easily improve the thermal efficiency of your   products. Ø Manufacturers of Electronic Components, IOT Devices, Instrument Clusters, Hi-tech Devices, etc. can be ben...

Thermal Stress Effect On Heat Treatment Baskets

Image
Quenching is a process I which metal components are heated below the melting temperature and suddenly cooled in water, due to heating and sudden cooling the molecular structure will be changed, as the molecular structure changes there will be an increase in load with standing capacity etc. Not only quenching, also process like heat treatment of components are done in industries which manufacture gears as shown in Fig: 1   Industries uses this process for strengthening the product, we uses different heat treatment basket for small components for batch process as shown in Fig: 2. Different designs of baskets are used for different industry, when the components are heat treated then the baskets are also heated, upon repeated heating and cooling of the basket the life of the basket will decrease due to that there will be more scrap or rework on basket, which is an loss to the company, also there can be chance of shape change due to the internal thermal stress produced in the basket. So...
