Using the Heat Transfer Module in the classroom
Convection cooling of memory array modules
Heat transfer encompasses many different industries, but is based upon the same laws of physics, such as those describing conduction, convection and radiation. This module provides modeling interfaces for students to intuitively manipulate these laws. This gets them familiar with the physics of heat transfer while a large number of examples introduces them to applications of heat transfer in a range of different industries. The module includes:
- Easy-to-use modeling interfaces—The software supplies convenient physics formulations for applications involving heat transfer through convection, conduction, and radiation. Other focused application modes address heat transfer in thin layers and shells, surface-to-surface radiation, and the bioheat equation
- Fluid flow—Additional predefined modeling interfaces allow you to model laminar and turbulent flow, including the k-ε and k-ω turbulence models, in conjunction with heat transfer
- Model Library—This set contains 14 tutorial models to get students up and running as well as 22 example models from the processing and manufacturing, electronics and power systems, and medical technology industries
- Predefined multiphysics couplings—Special multiphysics interfaces for modeling Joule heating, as well as the interaction of heat transfer with both turbulent and nonisothermal fluid flow, allow students to study many varied industrial applications
