Thermal Elements
The Conductive Heat Transfer block represents a heat transfer by conduction between two layers of the same material. The transfer is governed by the Fourier law and is described with the following equation:
where
| Q | Heat flow |
| k | Material thermal conductivity |
| A | Area normal to the heat flow direction |
| D | Distance between layers |
| TA,TB | Temperatures of the layers |
Connections A and B are thermal conserving ports associated with material layers. The block positive direction is from port A to port B. This means that the heat flow is positive if it flows from A to B.
Area of heat transfer, normal to the heat flow direction. The default value is 0.0001 m^2.
Thickness between layers. The default value is 0.1 m.
Thermal conductivity of the material. The default value is 401 W/m/K.
The block has the following ports:
Thermal conserving port associated with layer A.
Thermal conserving port associated with layer B.
