Heat Generation rate in W/m³
Hello Everybody,
I want to solve a convective heat transfer model of an external wall as a volumetric heat source. With the present boundary condition of externalWallHeatFlux I can give the following input
Code:
myPatch
{
type externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;
kappa fluidThermo; // fluidThermo, solidThermo or
// lookup
q uniform 1000; // heat flux / [W/m2]
Ta uniform 300.0; // ambient temperature /[K]
h uniform 10.0; // heat transfer coeff /[W/K/m2]
thicknessLayers (0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4); // thickness of layer [m]
kappaLayers (1 2 3 4) // thermal conductivity of
// layer [W/m/K]
value uniform 300.0; // initial temperature / [K]
kappaName none;
}
but Incase if I want to input the heat flux as a heat generation rate in W/m³. What should I be doing? How can I add the heat generation source?. Looking forward to see some suggestions.
Best
Ashwin
