The dynamic heat transfer in tube wall

AI Thread Summary
Numerical methods for dynamic heat conduction in tube walls typically assume a fixed temperature on one side, calculating the temperature distribution within the wall. However, there is a need for methods that can accommodate changing temperatures on both the inner and outer sides of the tube. Transient heat conduction requires understanding the steady-state and transient heat conduction equations, with calculations often starting from boundary conditions. Rapidly changing boundary conditions necessitate finer time steps and explicit numerical solutions for accurate simulations. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of simulating transient conditions and the importance of proper integration techniques.

When I read some heat transfer book, I got a problem.
There are some numerical calculation methods in dynamic heat conducting in tube wall, but all the methods assume the temperature on one side of the tube and then calculate the temperature distributed in the wall.
But are there some methods assume that temperature on inner/outer sides both changes and then calculate the temperature in the wall ?

Sure, it's a matter of transient heat conduction. One has to be familiar with the forms of the steady-state and transient heat conduction equation, or systems of equations for heat transfer.

Normally in calculating temperature through a wall, on starts at the boundary condition and works toward the hottest temperature or axis/plane of symmetry.

Many systems are designed for steady-state, while others may be subject to slow time-varying boundary conditions. In off-normal conditions, the boundary condition may change rapidly with time.

Simulating transients, particularly rapid transients, requires finer time steps (and usually explicit (dynamic) vs implicit (static/quasi-static) numercial solutions). It is also an art.

Finer time steps, maybe, I'll try
 
shouldn't this be done by using integration?
 
Yes, finer time step and interation
 
do you have the formula?
 
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
