The Heat Source sets up the right-hand side of the continuity equation, in
Equation 2-2, in terms of a heat density source. This is a monopole-like source that acts uniformly in all directions.
where αp is the (isobaric) coefficient of thermal expansion,
ρ is the density,
Cp is the heat capacity at constant pressure, and
Qheat is the heat source.
Enter the Heat capacity at constant pressure Cp and the
Ratio of specific heats γ either selected
From material or
User defined. The ratio of specific heats is used to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion through the thermodynamic relation
