It is possible to define Temperature dependent loads in COMSOL as "hload(T)". Where is T is a field variable.
However, is it possible to define the heat load as a function of temperature at a particular nodes in the model and the amount of heat flow through the elements ?. For example as
"hload(T1, T2, hflow)" , Where "T1" is temperature at node 1 and "T2" is temperature at node 2, and "hflow" is the amount of heat flow between node1 and node 2, in the previous time step.
The reason why I need to define such load is: I am trying to model the heat transfer between superconducting wire and superfluid helium around it. The equation explaining such heat transfer is a specific empirical equation,
with heat transfer coefficient depending upon temperatures at nodes and the amount of heat flow between the domain.
I would appreciate your answers !!
Best Regards
