Heat transfer considerations are important in almost all areas of technology. However, heat transfer analysis can be very difficult for complicated systems such as very large-scale integrated (VLSI) electric circuits and systems, making the simulation an attractive technique for studying heat transfer of those systems. This paper presents methods of heat transfer simulation using PSpice. First, typical heat transfer modes are discussed and heat transfer equations are presented. Then, equivalent electrical models are developed, and PSpice representations of those models are investigated. Finite-difference RC network models are developed and used for the simulation of complicated heat transfer problems using PSpice. Two typical heat transfer examples are studied. Simulations are performed to investigate and study the heat transfer and energy flow of the two examples using PSpice.

Heat transfer simulation within heat treatment furnaces is of great significance for the prediction and control of the ultimate microstructure, properties and dimensional stability of the workpieces and even the performance of furnaces. In this paper a set of models is proposed to solve heat transfer problems in a loaded furnace, including radiation, convection and conduction. Furthermore, a 3-dimensional algorithm based on finite difference method (FDM) is presented with a complete system for process simulation system. In the radiation module, view factor is calculated by direct integral method for all element pairs exposed to each other based on the blocking judgment. Combustion in gas-fired furnace and PID control are also included in the furnace model. The heat transfer models are integrated with furnace model to simulate the heating process of workpieces. Temperature distribution in workpiece and its variation with time are predicted by the system. An experiment is carried out for the validation of the system.

This paper presents the heat transfer simulation of a new kind of rotary engine called Leaf Spring Rotary Engine. The structure and the principle of the prototype engine were introduced. The thermodynamic models including heat transfer model were presented. The contrast of the performance parameters between the heat transfer condition and the ideal condition was presented and the effect of the heat transfer to the performance of the engine was analyzed. It showed that the heat transfer loss would account for 24% of the input energy at the rated speed of 3000r/min. At the same time, the effect of ignition position to the performance of the engine was analyzed. The work would be used in the combustion system design and the performance optimization.

Recently, a group of scientists introduced a new quantity for the analysis of heat transfer problems. They called it entransy since according to their understanding it is both, an indication of the nature of energy as well as that of the heat transfer ability. This concept is critically assessed on the background of two questions: Is entransy as an extension of the well established theory of heat transfer consistent with this classical approach? And: Is there a real need for the extension of the classical theory by introducing entransy as a quantity that was missing in the past?

We describe an approach for efficient solution of large scale convective heat transfer problems, formulated as coupled unsteady heat conduction and incompressible fluid flow equations. The original problem is discretized in time using classical implicit methods, while stabilized finite elements are used for space discretization. The algorithm employed for the discretization of the fluid flow problem uses Picard's iterations to solve the arising nonlinear equations. Both problems, heat transfer and Navier-Stokes quations, give rise to large sparse systems of linear equations. The systems are solved using iterative GMRES solver with suitable preconditioning. For the incompressible flow equations we employ a special preconditioner based on algebraic multigrid (AMG) technique. The paper presents algorithmic and implementation details of the solution procedure, which is suitably tuned, especially for ill conditioned systems arising from discretizations of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We describe parallel implementation of the solver using MPI and elements of PETSC library. The scalability of the solver is favourably compared with other methods such as direct solvers and standard GMRES method with ILU preconditioning.

In this paper, we propose the integrating factor method via local fractional derivative for the first time. We use the proposed method to handle the steady heat-transfer equations in fractal media with the constant coefficients. Finally, we discuss the non-differentiable behaviors of fractal heat-transfer problems.
