Heat Conduction with Tabulated Thermal Conductivity
This heat conduction tutorial example illustrates how to use data from a (text) file in an equation coefficient. The tabulated data here represents non-linear thermal conductivity as a function of temperature k = f(T). Where the conductivity curve is given as sin(pi/8) to sin(3/4*pi) for temperature values between 280 …
Non-Newtonian Flow in an Extrusion Die
This example models flow of a polymer through an extrusion die with two outlets. This type of flow can for example be found in manufacturing processes of plastic parts. The polymer is assumed to be non-Newtonian, and can be modeled with a shear thinning Bird-Carreau viscosity model. The die is also assumed to be …
