Casserole pan thermal losses
QuickField simulation example
Problem Type
3D problem of heat transfer.
Geometry
Given
Thermal conductivity of metal λ = 40 W/K-m.
Convection coefficient α = 15 W/(K·m².
Ambient air temperature T0 = 20 °C.
Casserole inside temperature T = 100 °C.
Task
Casserole pan is heated from the bottom side up to water boiling temperature. Determine the required power.
Solution
Since the geometry model is symmetrical we can reduce the simulation to only one half of the pan.
Results
Temperature distribution in the casserole pan. Net power losses are 1200 W.
