May 2, 2017, 07:47	Volumetric heat source term	#1
flusk123 New Member Join Date: May 2017 Posts: 4 Rep Power: 9	I am trying to model the effect of a heated aluminum chip on surrounding air. In FLUENT, we require a constant energy source term to account for this heat dissipation. Can anyone help me with the equation to calcualte in energy in W/m3 if temperature of chip, volume of chip, ambient air temperature and conductivity of chip material is known Thanks in advance
