In this paper, we have numerically studied the phenomenon of unidimensional convectionconduction equation in a channel, cylinder and sphere immersed in a solar pond. Then we have studied bidimensional case in a heat exchanger, which undergoes an external heat flow provided by solar pond. We carried out the discretization of the mathematical model by finite differences method (explicit scheme). Calculation codes in Fortran language have been created for the temperature distribution in all these geometries. We presented the numerical results in terms of temperature profile functions, one-and twodimensional, in laminar flow regime, for various parameters. We also present a study by COMSOL of the same phenomenon on these geometries. This study can be presented by two methods, the first using the physical model and the second using the mathematical part of COMSOL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
