title  

"Float Zone"  

 

coordinates  

 xcylinder('Z','R')  

 

variables  

 temp (threshold=100)  

 

definitions  

 k = 0.85                           {thermal conductivity}  

 cp = 1                             { heat capacity }  

 long = 18  

 H = 0.4                             {free convection boundary coupling}  

 Ta = 25                             {ambient temperature}  

 A = 4500                           {amplitude}  

 

 source = A*exp(-((z-1*t)/.5)^2)*(200/(t+199))  

 

 tsource = time_integral(vol_integral(source))  

 

initial value  

 temp = Ta  

 

equations  

 temp:  div(k*grad(temp)) + source = cp*dt(temp)  

 

boundaries  

region 1  

  start(0,0)  

  natural(temp) = 0 line to (long,0)  

  value(temp) = Ta line to (long,1)  

  natural(temp) = -H*(temp - Ta) line to (0,1)  

  value(temp) = Ta line to close
