Boundary conditions

Once we have defined the geometry of the control volume, it is necessary to set the boundary conditions of the problem. This process is carried out through the HEATRANS conditions window. The only conditions to specify here is Fix Temperature [line].

a) Fix Temperature [line]

The temperature conditions window is open through the conditions menu or the corresponding icon (see Figure 36).

The Fix Temperature [line] condition is used to fix the temperature on a line. In this example this condition will be assigned to the right line of the geometry with the value 100o and to the left line with the value 0o (see Figure 37).
