    How Does the Biot Number Affect Lumped System Analysis Accuracy?

    Thank you very much for your answer, but what do you mean by the internal asymptotic Nusselt number?

    How Does the Biot Number Affect Lumped System Analysis Accuracy?

    Hello all, I have a question regarding heat transfer. When the Biot number is small (<0.1) a mass can be regarded as lumped. Which means that the temperature is the same everywhere in the mass. Now if the Biot number is larger than 0.1 (say around 0.5-0.8) and I still do a lumped system...

    Solving Unsteady Problems in Mechanical Engineering

    So a block moves with a certain velocity (dependant on time). There is a free stream going around the block which cools it. I am interested in the temperature distribution of the block. This is a 3D unsteady heat conduction problem with convection boundary conditions. For convection boundary...

    Solving Unsteady Problems in Mechanical Engineering

    Oh yes sorry, it is about cooling a block which moves which a certain velocity. There is a flow going over the block. The textbook in question is 'heat and mass transfer' from Cengel.

    Solving Unsteady Problems in Mechanical Engineering

    Hello all, I am recently graduated in mechanial engineering and started working and so I don't have much experience yet. I have to deal with an unsteady problem. Now in the textbooks a lot steady assumptions are made and so these relations are not really valid for my problem. This is maybe a...
