Razvoj pečice nove generacije s pomočjo CFD-simulacije

摘要

This paper deals with the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation in the development of a new generation cooking appliance in Gorenje concern. As the oven is multifunctional, radiation, conduction, natural and forced convection mechanisms of heat transfer are used. The Discrete Ordinate (DO) model is used for radiation. The density of air is described by incompressible ideal gas equation in a natural convection model. The intention was to create the best possible baking conditions for different heating systems. Several discrete models were created. The influence of geometry change and boundary conditions variations to the velocity and temperature field distribution in the oven cavity was analyzed. The results of numerical simulations are validated with measurements taken from an oven prototype. The agreement was good. After successfully passing the standard tests, the oven came into serial production and was launched on the market.
