Convection heat transfer is assumed to occur on all other surfaces

to the surrounding medium temperature of 30 C with the
2 
convection coefficient of 40 W m - C. We will employ ANSYS
through its Workbench to determine the temperature distribution,
deformation and thermal stresses in the cylinder.

We start from heat transfer analysis to determine the
cylinder temperature distribution. A finite element mesh is
constructed with a large number of tetrahedral elements as shown
in the figure.
