About this project

This project aims for validating the heat loss characteristics from a constant heat flux horizontal cylinder. First, the convective heat transfer coefficient, as well as the corresponding cylindrical surface temperature, is calculated analytically, through an iterative approach. After that, the surface temperature values per various surface heat flux values are calculated in SimScale platform. Finally, the results from the analytical method and the platform are compared.
