Recording Heat Transfer

Mads Søndergaard Larsen

Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on a power device, where I want to record the effective heat transfer coefficient, as in

q=h_eff(T_ext-T);

Here I have some power modules (P_in), that provides power into the whole structure and then heat is going out (q) from this module. I then have a fluid with an inlet velocity V_in (predefined) and also an outlet. I have the velocity field work (without any heat), but I want to record the heat transfer coefficient aswell;

h_eff=h(T, V), T=temp, V=velocity.

The materials is currently set to be copper for simplicity, which of course have some parameters defined. But I am concerned to find h_eff around the components, which can then be plotted.

Best Regards, Mads
