This is a continuation of the first part of the beginner series of tutorials in heat transfer modeling. The first part introduced the reader to the concept of heat capacity (being analogous to the electrical capacity). This section continues with the concept of heat conductance which is analogous to the electrical conductance. Ohm’s law applies. Toward the end, the principle of using both concepts together (heat storage and heat conduction) in a finite element type of scheme will be explained. Understanding this concept well will later allow the reader to numerically model heat transfer with ease on complex 3D shapes with minimum experience or mathematical knowledge.
