Heat exchangers work by using metal plates to pull heat away from pipes filled with warm fluids. In this video, Sam Oanes from GoEngineer demonstrates how you can use SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to quickly find the steady state of a heat exchanger. He explains the different studies you can run, why you might pick one over another, and shows the results of his test.
