Abstract The paper reports the estimation of volumetric heat generation (qv) from a Teflon cylinder. An aluminum heater, which acts as a heat source, is
placed at the center of the Teflon cylinder. The problem under consideration is modeled as a three dimensional steady state conjugate heat
transfer from the Teflon cylinder. The model is created and simulations are performed using ANSYS FLUENT to obtain temperature data for the
known heat generation qv. The numerical model developed using ANSYS acts as a forward model. The inverse model used in this work is
Artificial Neural Network (ANN).… More >
