| Abstract: | This paper validates experimentally two numerical models of solar-powered tube heater that uses air impingement jets to heat steel tubes in the powder-based coating process as they move axially. A test rig is built to evaluate the thermal performance of the tube heater and validate both, its ANSYS FLUENT Dynamic Mesh model which simulated a moving target and ANSYS FLUENT Transient Thermal model which simulated a moving heat source. Results showed the experimental results to agree with those of the numerical models with an R2-value of 0.983-0.997 and error fit of 3-10% for tube velocities of 0.033-0.1 m/s. |
