Conduction Heat?

From a member:

Would you happen to know how to simulate conduction heat?

thank you

Wow, tough question. It's been a few years since I took that class in college.

The question was "how to simulate conduction heat?"

A simulation could be an experiment, a computer simulation or an engineering analysis.

• Experiment: this requires a laboratory

• Computer Simulation: requires expensive software and training I don't have. I did find some freeware called QuickField

• Engineering analysis: can be done if you know the properties of the material conducting the heat and the details of the heat source. If the heat varies over time, it is very difficult to calculate without a computer program.

Here's a Wikipedia Article for more indepth details.

Thanks Stephen!...happy it's not my project

Tania, I googled (how to simulate conduction heat?) theres alot on it. It's way over my head, glad this is someone elses project. I would suggest maybe the person looking for the info look into Universitys that do testing and research on heat transfer..There always willing to help the inventor....
