Example 319: Steady state temperature distribution on a heat sink using temperature dependent fluxes

This example solves the steady state temperature distribution though a heat sink on a car stereo amplifier. The boundary conditions include temperature dependant fluxes. The temperature field produced may take 2-3 minutes to draw. If you would like a quick example demonstrating the use of temperature dependant fluxes then refer to: Steady State heat distribution on a flat plate with temperature proportional fluxes.

The comfile run by this example is as follows:

fem def bas;r;amp;example 	# Define 2D linear basis function
fem def nod;r;amp;example
fem def win
fem def ele;r;amp ;example
fem dr li rgb=black 	# Draw the mesh
fem def equa;r;amp;example	
			# Specify static analysis with the Standard Laplace
			# Equation, finite element linear analysis.
			# Default other options.
fem def material;r;amp;example	# No material parameters set.
fem def init;r;ampCoupledflux;example	# Specify The flux boundary conditions
				# proportional to u
				# ie. dU/dt= const.U.  In most cases the
				# const will be -ve for a positive 
				# temperature giving a -ve flux.
				# Define integrated temp fluxes for the
				# Heat sources and sinks.
fem def solve;r;amp;example		# Default all options
fem solve
fem dr field zmin=38 zmax=42 	# Draw the temperature distribution
