Solidification and Melting in Fuel Tank

One of the disadvantages of frozen gasoline fuel is that the temperature drops during cold seasons or in cold places. When the gasoline temperature drops, sediments, and adhesives are removed first. Then heavy hydrocarbon molecules begin to freeze and mummify as temperatures continue to decrease. To prevent the freezing of gasoline, it is necessary to raise the gasoline temperature in the fuel storage tanks. One way to increase the gasoline temperature in the fuel tank is to use pipes carrying the hot fluid flow. The use of helical tubes in situations where space constraints are due to greater heat transfer in a given space is particularly interesting. In this project : Solidification & Melting in a gasoline fuel tank is simulated by ANSYS Fluent. The geometry of the present model is drawn by Design Modeler software. The model is then meshed by ANSYS Meshing software, and the total number of cells is equal to 511821. The simulation is Transient.
