COMSOL Heat Transfer Models
ISBN: 9781683922117
Pub Date: January 2020
Specs: 7 x 9 Paperback
Pages: 400
Price: $54.95
This book guides the reader through the process of model creation for heat transfer analysis with the finite element method. The book describes thermal imaging experiments that demonstrate how such models can be validated. It presents application examples, such as heating water in a kettle, to basement insulation, a heated seat, molten rock, pipe flow, and an innovative extended surface. A companion disc provides the files so models can be run (using COMSOL or other software) in order to observe real-world behavior of the applications. Historical background information is provided to show the progression of heat transfer science and mathematical modeling from the earliest developments to the most recent advances in technology.
FEATURES
- Includes example models that enable the reader to implement conceptual material in practical scenarios with broad industrial applications
- Includes companion files with models and geometry files created with COMSOL Multiphysics® or imported from a third-party CAD tool
