Hello,
I am trying to understand the method to calculate convective heat transfer and radiative heat transfer in comsol. The geometry is a simple rectangle (2D case). Two opposite sides are insulated and other two opposite sides have heat flux boundary condition with respective temperature and h values. Material selection is air.
I have surface to surface radiation model for radiation. The two sides which have heat flux boundary condition are selected as diffuse surface and emissivity values are defined.
When I look at the results convective and radiative heat transfers are zero. But the conductive heat flux has some value. I do not understand what is going in the calculation.
Can someone explain how to find these values?
Thank you.
You need to add a fluid flow physics and couple the velocity field to the temperature field.
