Thermal Analysis of an Electrical Wire
Created using ANSYS AIM 18.2
Problem Specification
For this demonstration we are asked to determine the centerline temperature, Tc, and surface temperature of a bare steel wire carrying a current, I, and having a resistance, R. The surface convection coefficient between the wire and the ambient air (at temperature Ta) is h.
