contact coefficient for thermal analysis
contact coefficient for thermal analysis
(OP)
I have a thermal study (SW Sim/Cosmos) in which to begin with I have assumed bonded contact faces for the transfer of heat, essentially 100% transfer (as I understand it). I am now trying to get a more accurate study with inputing a closer to real life heat transfer between faces. Does anyone have a good reference for contact face coefficients? I am using carbon steel, stainless steel, ceramics and possibly teflon and nitrile (seals, not as important).
I also posted this question in the FEA forum, I hope posting it twice is an issue.
Thanks a bunch.

The only central resource I know of is http://cocoe.sourceforge.net/ and its far from perfect but it'll give you ballpark figures.
