    Finding thermal resistance using average temperature

    Thanks. The surface operations and integration in ANSYS worked fine. I was just posting how to use the commands in case anyone had similar questions in the future. Thanks again.

    Finding thermal resistance using average temperature

    The similar feature in ANSYS can be done by using Surface Operations in the Postprocessor. You must first create a surface using 'SUCR'. For my application, the surface was a flat surface created using the cutting plane and targeted at a specific volume which I selected separate from the total...

    Finding thermal resistance using average temperature

    I'm looking to verify my MATLAB program and not worried about the distribution. I'm looking for a numerical value for comparison. In the long run, the MATLAB code will be a small part of a much greater program that runs optimization routines. I need these to be quick so using ANSYS when...

    Finding thermal resistance using average temperature

    The effects of spreading resistance is actually my focus. I am comparing the resistance that I find through this process to MATLAB code that I have written to verify its accuracy. The deltaT is the difference of the average of the source on the one side to the bulk temperature of the convective...

    Finding thermal resistance using average temperature

    Hey, I have a simple model set up right now that I'm using to verify my process is correct. This will later be extended to analyze finned heat exchangers. My model is a square block of a defined thickness. It has a convection applied to one side. The side of the block that is opposite has a heat...
