HeaTra

One dimensional and two dimensional heat transfer simulation. onduction and convection are simulated using finite volume method (FVM). 1D/2D domain is divided into elements(control volumes) and conservation equations are discretized.

Six different class of problems are described here.

1) 1D heat transfer through semi-infinite plate with fixed temperature at both ends.

2) 1D heat transfer through semi-infinite plate with fixed temperature at one end and constant heat flux at other end.

3) 1D heat transfer through cylinder (arbitrary cross section) boundary conditions: constant temperature, constant heat flux and convection.

4) 1D heat transfer through insulated circular cylinder with boundary conditions: constant temperature, constant heat flux and convection on ends and convection through lateral surface. Uniform heat generation is also simulated

5) 2D heat transfer in rectangular domain. Boundary conditions: constant temperature, constant heat flux and convection.

6) 2D axisymmetric heat transfer in insulated pipe. Boundary conditions: constant temperature, constant heat flux and convection.
