Hi all,
I am conducting physical experiments that involve heat exchange between the water being pumped inside a galvanized iron pipe and the pipe's surrounding heated temperature. I would later be simulating the physical experiments using a software (Fluent) as well and then comparing the numerical and experimental results. So, the thermal properties of the galvanized iron pipe I enter to the software should closely match the real properties of the pipe in order for the comparison to be successful.
I searched a lot of books but the thermal properties were either available for steel or galvanized steel. But I could not find any thermal properties for "galvanized iron" or even normal "cast/wrought iron". Hence, could anybody kindly suggest a resource where I may be able to find the thermal properties (thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity) of iron pipes - if possible "galvanized iron" specifically?
Your advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi Navid,
Thank you for your answer. Appreciate it. Yes it does have "iron" but I suspect that it refers to pure iron and not the iron used for the pipes such as cast/wrought iron (which have different properties). So, still searching for a proper literature source with thermal properties of "iron pipes".
Sampath Suranjan Salins Thank you. Properties of Iron are not there in Ansys Fluent but will check the material databases in other Ansys software.
