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.
