modeling heat transfer/heat loss of solenoid

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

heyo!

working on a magnetic bearing project, and would like to find change in temperature a chosen distance outside solenoid due to current flow. also would like to find magnetic field and energy lost to heating.

have been working to use "multi-turn coil domain" for solenoid and joule heating for heating part. haven't convinced myself that these are correct/most efficient physics to use for the purpose

any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

They should work, but the trick is to ensure that the variable T for temperature is understood correctly (probably via the material properties) and that the heat flux from EC gets into linked correctly a s a body source into the HT physics

Good luck
