The temperature of the heater <strong>is</strong> constant at 400K.<br />
The temperature at R1 <strong>is</strong> the same as the temperature of the heater, 400K.<br />
The fluid temperature <strong>is</strong> constant at 300K and th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> the temperature of the surrounding sheath<br />
at R2.<br />
Given the symmetry of the system, it will enough for the analys<strong>is</strong> to define a subdomain in 2D<br />
as shown below.<br />
Solution using Comsol Graphical User Interface.<br />
1. To start Comsol, click the icon <strong>COMSOL</strong> <strong>Multiphysics</strong> 3.2<br />
2. In the Model Navigator window we<br />
must choose the type of coordinate<br />
system that we want to use to solve our<br />
problem. As mentioned above, our<br />
problem <strong>is</strong> pretty symmetric and<br />
therefore a 2D system (which <strong>is</strong> the<br />
default value) will be enough.
