HeatRateConvectionRZ

This post-processor computes the heat rate Q˙\dot{Q} of a boundary convective heat flux applied to a cylindrical heat structure via the HSBoundaryAmbientConvection component: Q˙=Ah(TambT)dA, \dot{Q} = \int\limits_A h (T_{amb} - T) dA \,, where

  • hh is the convective heat transfer coefficient,

  • TambT_{amb} is the ambient temperature, and

  • TT is the temperature of the surface.
