Abstract

Heat transfer analysis for axisymmetric solid by using the finite element method is presented in this article. The method used to find the temperature distribution in solid is the Finite Element Method based on triangular element.  This numerical method is more suitable than the analytical method in dealing with various types of boundary conditions and various shapes of solid.   The accuracy of present method is assessed by comparing the calculation results of present method with the results from analytical method or commercial.  Three test problems are presented in this article, namely the solid cylinder with uniform heat generation, the fuel cladding composite and the hollow cylinder with heat flux on inner surface.
