A Modeling of Heat Transfer in Cooling Coil using Finite Element Method

Abstract

In general for the refrigeration, the cooling coil is almost used to be the device to decrease the temperature. Thus, in order to design heat exchange, we should study the heat transfer into the cooling coil. This research proposes the numerical using finite element method for calculating the temperature at any position of the cooling point for considering to porous media. After that, to create an algebraic equation fmite element for writing the program to search the solution by estimating the temperature. The research demonstrates that the changing of temperature will be decreased to saturated condition, that is the temperature around the region of the cooling coil model edge will be decreased. The longer time, the lower temperature around each position will decrease respectively until the temperature at each position inside the model are the same as region of the cooling coil model edge. Therefore, this search result can be the basic for the comparison with the similar problem of other
