Temperature distribution of a heat exchanger


In this example, the heat transfer in a cooler structure is computed.

The bottom bulk of the structure is heated and the heat transfer to the surroundings is modeled with a heat transfer coefficient boundary condition (solver input file). The element mesh was created with ElmerGrid (input file).

The figures below show the temeprature distribution of the structure. Color scale goes from blue (cold) to red (hot).
