Heat Transfer through a Cylinder
Heat Transfer through a Cylinder
A long tube with a uniform heat source is insulated at its outer radius and cooled at its inner radius , and the one-dimensional, radial, steady-state heat transfer is calculated. Use buttons to view a cross section of the tube or plot the temperature as a function of the radius. The heat transfer rate, temperature at position and the outer surface temperature are shown on the cross section diagram. Use sliders to set the coolant temperature, tube thickness -, radial position, heat generation, convection coefficient and thermal conductivity.
