Practical Heat Transfer: Using MATLAB^® and COMSOL^®

This book guides the reader through the subject of heat transfer, covering the analytical, coding, Finite Element Analysis, and hybrid methods of thermal modeling. Cylindrical pipes are the focus of this work for their widespread use and multitude of engineering applications. The book’s primary focus is on the MATLAB^® (R2021) and COMSOL^® Multiphysics (5.6) software packages; however, the learning gained here can be transferred to other FEA tools. The purpose is to become familiar with the f...
