Heat Transfer PDEs and Boundary Conditions

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that is concerned with the movement of energy. The driving force behind a heat transfer is temperature differences.

Functions

HeatTransferPDEComponent model conservative and non-conservative heat transfer

HeatFluxValue model heat flow through a boundary

HeatInsulationValue model thermal insulation
