The material properties for both thermal and structural analysis have been assumed as temperature dependent.

Due to symmetric boundary condition, a quarter model has been analyzed. The employed heat flux formula was:
Heat_value=eta*volt*amper/velo Heat_Flux= Heat_value / (Electrode_Area)
An APDL code was generated for this analysis not only to simulate the traverse of the electrode on the oil tank but also to employ parametric design in the oil tank design. |
