Numerical Analysis of the Thermodynamic Response of a Hollow Concrete Cylinder
Keywords:
porous materials, hollow cylinder, concrete, temperature, ANSYS®Abstract
The stability and durability of concrete materials are essential factors in the construction industry. Environmental conditions, such as temperature affect the tensile strength and durability of concrete structures. This work investigates the thermodynamic behaviour of hollow cylindrical concrete using the finite element method (FEM). By deploying ANSYS®, the element mesh was created, and the temperature distribution inside the hollow cylinder was calculated. The effect of the hollowness of the concrete on its heat absorption is determined. The findings demonstrate that the temperature profiles changed radially throughout the concrete thickness. Moreover, it was discovered that the temperature distribution was impacted by the airflow into the cylinder. The numerical experiment in this study was essential in providing a comprehensive understanding of the behaviour of the concrete, particularly when exposed to higher heating rates. This study contributes to the knowledge of the performance and stability of concrete materials. It also demonstrates that the hollowness of the concrete enhances its heat-shielding performance. Furthermore, the inflow of air into the cylinder affects the temperature distribution, with a higher influx of air resulting in lower temperatures. These findings can be utilised to develop appropriate measures to enhance the performance and durability of concrete structures.
