Please how do I perform a simulation of plastics melting and evaporating when heat is added in a vessel. I was thinking of using the Fluent package but there is also poly flow. I'd appreciate any advice/ tutorials to achieve this.
Hi Stephen, I have little experience with the type of flows you want to work with, and none at all with polyflow; it seems to me polyflow is quite well suited for very specific polymer applications but I do not know if evaporation is involved. A general advice I can give you is to take a look at cfd-online.com; there is a large FLUENT community there to be sure, but also a general ANSYS forum where polyflow questions are treated. Perhaps you can already find an answer to your query there in the topics set up by other users - see if you can find questions related to similar problems. if not, it's a great place to ask such a question, and find answers from people that have experience with both packages.
I have a reactor that is required to heat up plastic pellets inside of it. The aim is to change it from solid to liquid and then to gas. I want to use Ansys to do this so that I can determine some quantities like turbulence in the reactor.
So my question is, can I use Ansys to do this? if yes, then how can I achieve this
