Resistive Heating in a Tungsten Filament
Resistive Heating in a Tungsten Filament
This example models resistive Joule heating where the resulting current from an applied electric potential will heat a thin spiral shaped Tungsten wire, such as can be found in incandescent light bulbs. The filament reaches an equilibrium temperature where the internal heat generation is balanced by radiative heat loss …
Spherical Capacitor
Spherical Capacitor
Model of an electrostatic spherical capacitor. The example makes use of a 2D axisymmetric approximation with three subdomains, where an electric charge is applied between the middle insulating layer. For this configuration the analytic capacitance can be calculated as 4*πεrε0/dr, where dr is the thickness of the …
Two Material Wave Guide Interface
Two Material Wave Guide Interface
This example studies the interface between two different materials in a section of a wave guide. The change in material causes the waves to travel at different speeds. This changing diffraction pattern of the planar time harmonic waves can be investigated by using the Helmholtz equation for the amplitude of the waves A …
