Abstract

The article established mathematical models to gain the temperature field of water in a bathtub of different shapes. At the beginning, the basic model including heating and cooling model is established on condition that the bathtub is 1.8 0.7 0.8 cuboid without a person in it. Afterwards, the shape and the volume of the bathtub are taken into consideration. the equivalent size is introduced to establish the relationship of equation between different shapes of the bathtub. The result shows that different shapes do not make influences on the division of temperature areas in the bathtub but affect the heat transfer rate of water heating and cooling Meanwhile, the result is performed by means of finite element analysis, using the software Fluent[1].
