Hello!
For my project i'm currently trying to find suitable programs to use, and comsol was suggested to me. I've watched a few videos and looked around in the user manual, but i'm having a hard time finding a definitive answer to whether or not it is suitable.
In my "study" i'm going to model a cylinder which temperature is rising during the time, from 20 degrees to 945 degrees celcius in the span of an hour. The cylinder will radiate to a nearby wall and i wish to measure the temperature in this wall, to see when it reaches a certain point. Is this possible using Comsol?
Apologies for any spelling errors, english is not my first language! Appreciate any help i can get!

Hello Christian,
Yes, this sounds like a very straightforward application of COMSOL. You will need the Heat Transfer Module (www.comsol.com/heat-transfer-module) because of the heat transfer by surface-to-surface radiation aspect of your work.
Best regards,
Jeff
