I want to study about the phase change due to the heat added into the system.
My system is a solid rectangular (materials : wood) which has a hollow sphere inside. The sphere is filled with the phase-change materials (paraffin, phase-change temperature is between 295-300 K). The initial temperature is 273 K so the paraffin is still in solid phase. then the heat flux is given on one side of the rectangular wood, which the other sides are insulated. I want to know the temperature contour and the liquid fraction for every seconds of simulation (unsteady conditions) but I have no idea how to setup the Fluent, specially to set these two materials (paraffin and wood). Should I use solidification/melting and multiphase (2 phase Eulerian mode) options or use the other one? could anybody help me to develop this case? Thank you. |
