The heat flux of 100,000 Wm is applied on top of
the cylinder surface. The boundary condition of convection heat
transfer is applied to all other surfaces using the convection
2
coefficient of 40 W m - C and the surrounding medium tempera-
ture of 30 C . Application of these boundary conditions through
the Workbench is highlighted in the figure.
The heat transfer analysis is performed and the
computed temperature distribution is displayed as shown in the
figure. High temperature occurs on the cylinder top surface where
the heat flux is applied. The cylinder temperature decreases
gradually from top to bottom due to convection heat transfer to the
surrounding medium.
