BASHER H ALSDAI, Student Number: S951208504. The Effect of Varying the

Distance to Temperature distribution Using ANSYS CFX. Supervisor I: Dr. Budi
Santoso. Supervisor II: Prof. Dr . Dwi Aries H., ST., MT. Thesis: Mechanical
Engineering Department, Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University.
ABSTRACT
This study was dealt how to solve the problem of analyzing one dimensional
unsteady state heat conduction in semi-infinite rod at constant thermal conductivity.
The problem geometry and meshing were made in ANSYS Workbench. The
mathematically model was applied on the basis of Fourier’s law. The model was
analyzed by ANSYS CFX 12.0 solver. The parameters of the model were employed for
the solution for semi-infinite rod with heat generation sources as well as laminar heat
transfer coefficient, which was h=14.52 W/m2k. The result findings showed that there
is a significant similarity between the experimental and numerical value. The residual
average at x1 distance showed the lowest value with highest coefficient sensitivity,
which was close to the 0 value. Consequently, this study suggests that the usage of
ANSYS CFX 12.0 solver can be used to accomplish the difficulty of analyzing one
dimensional unsteady state heat conduction.

Keywords: ANSYS, one dimensional heat transfer, rod, heat transfer coefficient.

PREFACE
I would like to express my greatest appreciation to my supervisors, Dr. Budi
Santoso and Dr. Dwi Aries H., ST., MT. for their guidance, support and
encouragements throughout my entire Master study.
Their meticulous attention to details, incisive but constructive criticisms and
insightful comments have helped me shape the direction of this thesis in the form
presented here, on. I am also thankful to them for their strong supports in other
aspects of life than research. I would also like to convey my gratitude to the head of
mechanical engineering department Dr. techn Suyitno. I deeply appreciate my parents
and my family. Their love and encouragement light up many lonely moments in my
life as a graduate student away from home and have been the source of courage when
I was down. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all my friends and
colleagues in the study. Their support, friendship and encouragement made my

Master study a journey of happiness.
Last, but not least, I am grateful to every individual who has helped me in one
way or another during my master study.
