Dear members, I am currently running a simulation on railway subject to environment heat.
Well, Assume the rail is like a piece of cylindrical bar. The surrounding temperature is 70 degrees C and the rail is initially at ambient temperature say 25 degrees C. I know the value of h. What would be the best way of determining the transient temperature increment?
My method is simply to put a surface heat load to all the surface and the convection heat transfer from the environment to the bar. I am not positive if I do need the prescribed temperature...Can anyone please advise?
Does prescribed temperature means that is the fix temperature where it will never change no matter how hard it is heated up?
Thank You
