Heat flux as a function of temperature
 
1 Attachment(s)
Transient heat transfer modeling.
There are 3 thermoelectric coolers on the bottom of a chamber. The heat flux is a function of the temperature of the cooler (wall temperature), q=f(T), the larger the temperature is, the smaller the heat flux will be.
In other words, it's about how to create a wall heat flux function with respect to its temperature.
Can this problem be solved using UDF? If so, can anyone give me some ideas of the UDF? Many thanks!:)

Hi Laplace,
you can use a DEFINE_PROFILE: you call the wall temperature (maybe you need also a DEFINE_ADJUST) and write the function for the heat flux.
I suggest reading UDF Guide for info about these DEFINE UDFs.
