Numerical Heat Transfer Analysis for Heat Generating Coil

Abstract

Numerical Heat transfer analysis of the heat generating coil is carried out using finite element method for this investigation. This paper describes the numerical results of the heat transfer from heat generating coil at different conditions. The parametric effects on heat transfer were investigated. The varied parameters included ambient conditions, as well as the shape of the crosssection. The numerical results show that the type of the medium where the heat generating coil immerges has strong effects on the heat dissipation rate. As the size of the diameter the heat dissipation to the ambient is decreased. The effects of free convection conditions on the coil surface are also significant. However, the effect of the shape of the cross-section is not very strong. The results presented in this paper provide useful information for the application of heat generating coil.
