Heat Transfer Modelling Using COMSOL: Slab to Radial Fin

This book is intended for individuals who are interested in modelling heat transfer problems both in academic and non-academic settings. The main focus is on the COMSOL Multiphysics Heat Transfer module; however, the fundamentals may be applied to other commercial packages such as MATLAB, ANSYS, and AbaqusTM. The content can be utilized in variety of disciplines including aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering to name a few. The book takes a step-by-step approach, and helps navigate through fundamental concepts and questions related to set up and analysis of a heat transfer problem using COMSOL Heat Transfer Module.

Features:

• Includes MATLAB projects at the end of each chapter. These projects allow the reader to implement conceptual material by building practical applications that will be used in the industry.
• Includes relevant mathematical models throughout the text that have been derived in a way that describes the problem without requiring deep mathematical knowledge
• Includes examples that can be completed with the core COMSOL® Multiphysics module, not requiring the optional Heat Transfer Module or specialized geometry importer modules.
