A Comparative Numerical Study of Transient Thermal Behaviour of Water-Cooled Metallic Plates
Abstract
Transient heat transfer behaviour of SS 316 and aluminium alloy 6061 thick metallic plates has been investigated and compared in the present study. These materials for the study are chosen due to their wide applications in underwater machinery. LISA software has been used to simulate the water-cooling behaviour of metallic plates. Very less computational time has been observed during transient thermal simulation process using LISA software. It has been observed that aluminium 6061 is more thermal effective compared to SS 316 when used as a plate. Gradual cooling is observed for aluminium alloy. For stainless steel, the cooling rate is found to be very fast initially at the plate surface and its intensity decreases afterwards. Heat flux for SS 316 is observed to be very low compared to aluminium 6061.
