Performing Heat Transfer Analysis Using Ansys Workbench

Heat is transferred from one location to another or from one body to another or within the body in three different ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Steady-state thermal analysis is used to calculate temperature field when the temperature distribution is unknown. In many cases, the heat conduction problem is solved with a combination of boundary conditions such as specified temperature, convection, heat flow and so on.  The results of thermal analysis can be used to determine temperature distribution, thermal gradients and heat flow rates in an object that are caused by thermal loads that do not vary over time. Reaction probes can be used to check the heat balance of the steady stated heat transfer problem.  // INTERESTED IN MORE?
