Design and Optimization of a Duct in Different Working Conditions for Circular and Elliptical Section

Abstract

The objective is to evaluate and compare the computational fluid dynamic analysis of duct
under three types of working conditions namely home, industry and restaurant. In this, a
fluent analysis is conducted on elliptical and circular cross section duct to obtain the
variation of velocity and pressure magnitude at critical locations of duct. The computational
fluid dynamic analysis is done and verified by simulations in ANSYS workbench. Results
achieved from a mentioned analysis were used in optimization of the duct used for various
applications like home, industry and restaurant. Geometry is analyzed for different working
conditions under different velocity inputs.
