We offer heat transfer analysis services to a large range of industrial and manufacturing companies. Heat transfer analysis is an integral part of any significant industrial procedure and it is required to be done by a broad spectrum of companies belonging to a diverse domain.
Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of heat between two bodies which may or may not be in touch. Moreover, if the two bodies are not in touch, heat transfer can take place through vacuum as well. It is a natural phenomenon and has a wide application as it is observed in a number of physical, chemical and even biological processes.
Technically, there are three basic modes of heat transfer which are required to be understood for the Heat Transfer Analysis:
Conduction
Two bodies are in touch and the heat travels from higher to lower body temperature. It is mostly well understood by the current-voltage analogy.
Convection
The two bodies are not in touch and there must be a medium like air in between the two. The packets of medium carry the heat as energy from one body to another in this case.
Radiation
It is prominently observed at the higher temperature and it’s governed by Stephen’s law of radiation. All bodies radiate some amount of energy (though negligible) at all temperatures. No medium is required in this case and heat can radiate through a vacuum
Heat transfer analysis helps the scientists and engineers understand and predict the functioning of a machine. At some points, it is required that heat is dissipated all the time to keep the temperature down and at some points; it has to be ensured that no heat is transferred to maintain the temperature. To achieve the latter, insulation like asbestos, thermocouple and air is used.
In industries, Heat Transfer Analysis is frequently used for:

In industries, Heat Transfer Analysis is frequently used for:
- Analysis of oil, their flash points, fire points and thermal packing
- Lubrication in automobiles and other machines where heat needs to be dissipated
- In brakes where a lot of heat is produced because of friction and it has to be overcome
- In thermal power plants where boilers and turbines properties and functions are to be studied
- In casting where molten metal is converted to solid metal objects of definite shape
- In forging where the metal is heated and plastic deformation is done
An FEA Analysis service has the right tools, skills, and experience to handle any type of heat transfer analysis services.
