The following verification test case compares the results from The Thermal Wizard calculation to a numerical simulation using MAYA's TMG Thermal Analysis software. The input values and results are shown below.
| Inner Radius | 0.05 meters |
| Length | 0.6 meters |
| Temperature at Inner Surface | 100 oC |
| Heat Flow from Inner to Outer Surface | 25 W |
| Layer 1 Thickness and Conductivity | 0.01m and 3.5 W/m2C |
| Layer 2 Thickness and Conductivity | 0.01m and 0.8 W/m2C |
| Layer 3 Thickness and Conductivity | 0.03m and 0.1 W/m2C |
Comparison of Results
| The Thermal Wizard
Tn = 74.7 oC |
MAYA TMG Thermal Analysis
Tn = 74.6 oC Below is a contour plot showing temperatures. The inner temperature (hottest) is 100C and the outer temperature is 74.6 oC.
