Point Heat Flux (Thin Rod)
Use this subnode to add heat flux at points of a thin rod. A positive heat flux adds heat to the rod.
Heat Flux
The available options in the Flux type list are: General inward heat flux (default), Convective heat flux, and Nucleate boiling heat flux.
If General inward heat flux is selected, it adds q0 to the total flux across the selected points. Enter a value for q0 to represent a heat flux that enters the rod.
If Convective heat flux is selected, it adds q0 in the form q0 = h ⋅ (Text − T). Enter the Heat transfer coefficient h and the External temperature Text. The value depends on the geometry and the ambient flow conditions.
If Nucleate boiling heat flux is selected, it adds q0 estimated with the Rohsenow’s correlation. See Nucleate Boiling Heat Flux for details about the settings.
