Two-Dimensional Steady-State Conduction

The following images represent the solutions to a series of two-dimensional heat transfer calculations. The images are accompanied by a collection of supporting animations.

The animations and images supplement the class interactions and discussions on heat transfer.

The images and animations were intended to support the students understanding of the governing equations and also the meaning of various concepts.

The animations are available to view at http://www.youtube.com/user/MBRBLU.

Suggestions for useThe images (and animations) can be displayed and students asked to describe what they see, in relation to

the boundary conditions the likely energy balance

They might also be asked to describe the relationship between the isotherms and streamlines of heat flux. the relationship between the isotherms and the various boundary conditions

Alternatively, the students could be presented with a description of the boundary conditions only and asked, for each case,

to plot the likely temperature distribution across the slab (including isotherms) to plot the lines of heat flux

The boundary conditions for the cases are shown in table 1 below.
