Thermal & Heat Transfer Systems CFD Projects

Heat transfer CFD analysis shows where heat is gained, lost or trapped, and why a thermal system underperforms. These projects include spiral and finned heat exchangers, EGR coolers, fan-cooled CPU heatsinks, microchannel combustion, and high-temperature thermal energy storage systems and test facilities. Conjugate heat transfer models resolve fluid flow and solid conduction together, capturing wall temperatures, hotspots, flow maldistribution and the trade-off between heat transfer and pressure drop. The results lead to specific design actions: rebalancing passage flow, refining fin geometry, placing insulation or trace heating, and confirming that temperatures stay within safe limits. They support equipment manufacturers and research teams aiming for higher thermal performance without excessive pumping power or material risk.
