Problem Description
In this example we will analyze an axisymmetric structure for its temperature distribution. We will use the MSC.Nastran CTRIAX6 axisymmetric element (in its 3 node configuration) as the heat conduction element. The basic geometry is detailed in the figure below. A section of pipe consisting of composite materials is divided into two different material regions. Region A is from radius 1.5 feet to 3.5 feet. Region B is from radius 3.5 feet to 4.75 feet. The overall pipe section is 5.0 feet long with an inside diameter of 3 feet and an outside diameter of 9.5 feet. Oil flows through the interior with an inlet temperature of 100 oF and a mass flow rate of 2.88E6 lbm/hr. The forced convection heat transfer coefficient between the oil and wall is calculated by MSC.Nastran using the following relationship: Nu=0.023Re0.8Pr0.3333. Thermal conductivity properties for Region A and Region B are 0.2 and 0.5 Btu/hr/(ft*oF). Volumetric internal heat generation occurs in the subregion of Region B (from radius 3.5 feet to 3.9167 feet), and varies based on Z location. The heat generation is 1200*(1-Z/5) Btu/hr/ft3, where Z is in units of feet. Free convection to an ambient temperature of 100 oF is applied to the exterior surface of the model through a heat transfer coefficient of 3.0 Btu/hr/(ft2*oF).
