COMSOL Heat Transfer Models (Multiphysics Modeling)

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(r) Or Imported From A Third-party Cad Tool. Using the popular Heat Transfer Module from COMSOL, this text is designed to provide models for investigating and analysing heat transfer applications such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Each model covered shows the mathematical development and the resulting computer model.
