The cylinder itself is the source, cause I m trying to model a copper winding here which is cylinderical. The source is heat generated due to copper loss.

The cylinder is hollow and isothermal. I need to calculate convection coefficient for the heat transfer taking place from the two ends of the cylinder to ambient when the cylinder is placed horizontally. I assume that the ends are similar to circular disc (like a DVD) and need to calculate the...

Hi, I am working on constructing a thermal circuit where I am using the concept of natural convection from a vertical hot plate in the shape of a DVD. In order to calculate the Grashoff number, I have to use the characteristic length. What should I take as my characteristic length? The disc OD...
