Abstract

Thermal and CFD analysis is done on the intercooler. CFD analysis is done under different boundary conditions. The materials considered for shell and tube intercooler are Aluminum, Titanium and Copper for thermal analysis and compared for better material. The input of heat transfer coefficient for thermal analysis is taken from output of CFD analysis. The intercooler’s pressure gradients, temperature distributions, and fluid flow patterns can all be understood using CFD study. Engineers can learn how parameters like input airflow velocity, temperature, and geometry impact the intercooler’s performance by modeling various operating and boundary conditions. In order to optimize the design and obtain the required pressure drop and cooling efficiency, this information is essential

Keywords: CFD analysis, tube intercooler, Gas turbines, shell, Drag Race
