What is meant by heat transfer?
Heat transfer refers to the process of energy transfer in the form of heat between bodies or systems of different temperatures. This occurs through three fundamental mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Typical software functions in the area of "heat transfer":
- Calculation of heat transfer coefficients
- Simulation of heat flows in components and systems
- Analysis of temperature distribution in solids and fluids
- Optimization of heat exchangers and cooling systems
- Calculation of thermal stresses
- Modeling of multiphase flows with heat transfer
- Simulation of heating and cooling processes
- Analysis of thermal bridges in buildings
