Cooling of Hot Steel Plate on Run-Out Table Facility; a Simulation

This work presents the various steps involved in performing finite element analysis of computational fluid mechanics system to simulate water impingement on a hot plate for a run-out table experiment. The analysis is conducted for half the plate during the cooling process due to symmetry. The steps include creating a modelling plan, material selection, geometric modelling, model meshing, applying boundary conditions, and obtaining the final temperatures of the steel plate and environment. The software used to conduct the finite element analysis is ANSYS Fluent.
