I'm having problems with breakage of alumina tubing in higher temperature tube furnaces. Does anyone know of a relatively easy-to-use computer model, preferably freeware, that I can use to model thermal stresses in the tubes? I want to come up with a graded insulation design to minimize shock but also minimize heat losses so a 3d model would be preferable. Thanks.

 
Sorry, can't help you but I would like to find the same. Where have you tried?

Can't help with a provider of software but if you contact Simon Stedman on simon.stedman@ceram.com he will be able to help you model the problem
