What are the typical thermal units in ANSYS?
|
The following are the typical thermal units in ANSYS in the SI and English systems: Typical Units in ANSYS ( SI ): Temperature Degrees C ( or K ) Heat Flow Watts Thermal Conductivity Watts / ( meter * degree C ) Density kilogram / ( meter^3 ) Specific Heat ( Watt * sec ) / ( kilogram * degree C) Film Coefficient Watts / ( meter^2 * degree C ) Heat Flux Watts / ( meter^2 ) Thermal Gradients degree C / meter Internal Heat Generation Watts / ( meter^3 ) Typical Units in ANSYS ( English ): Temperature Degrees F (or R) Heat Flow BTU / hr Thermal Conductivity BTU / ( hr * inch * degree F ) Density lbm / ( inch^3 ) Specific Heat BTU / ( lbm * degree F ) Film Coefficient BTU / ( hr * inch^2 * degree F ) Heat Flux BTU / ( hr * inch^2 ) Thermal Gradients degree F / inch Internal Heat Generation BTU / ( hr * inch^3 ) Note: for structural compatibility, density/Gc and specific heat*Gc units are frequently employed, where Gc=386.4 (lbm * inch)/(lbf * sec^2) |
