Abstract

The development of thermal machines or electronic devices requires a deep knowledge about transport phenomena. Albeit the associate governing equations are well known for centuries, only in the last decades a cheap and efficient solution method became engineering accessible. The control volume finite element method is one of the numerical methods which makes the derivation of approximated solutions from fundamental differential equations possible. This paper presents in details the aforementioned method in the application of the 3D heat transfer equation discretization; it also presents a method of calculating the effective thermal conductivity for composite materials and verifies the numerical solution.
