This tutorial will demonstrate step by step how to derive the heat equation in a solid material and how to discretize it using the finite volume method. Additionally, a CFD simulation tutorial is carried out to demonstrate the cooling effect of a hot solid rod in a water tank using the engineering software Fluent from ANSYS. By enabling the energy equation in Fluent, the cooling effect is simulated and then animated in CFDPOST showing the temperature distribution and the cooling stages of the solid rods.
