Variables power current, • q : heat flow rate [J/sec = W] ( ) • T: temperature [oK] or [oC] ( ) voltage Temperature in a body usually depends on spatial as well as temporal coordinates. As a result, the dynamics of a thermal system has to be described by partial differential equations. Moreover, nonlinearities are often essential in describing the heat transfer by radiation and convection. However, very few nonlinear PDEs have analytical (closed form) solutions. Usually, finite element methods (FEM) are used to numerically solve nonlinear PDE problems. Our purpose is to try to use lumped model approximations of thermal systems to obtain linear ODEs that are capable of describing the dynamic response of thermal systems to a good first approximation.

Heat flows through the two elements at a rate of q. Find the equivalent thermal resistance Req and solve for the interface temperature between the two elements. • Thermal Resistance Describes the heat transfer process through an element with the characteristic that the heat flow rate across the element is proportional to the temperature difference across the element, i.e. T1 T2 q R

Thermal Capacitance The ability of a substance to hold or store heat is the heat capacity of the material and it behaves like a thermal capacitance. Since the specific heat cPcan be interpreted as the heat storage capacity of the material per unit mass, the total heat storage capability of a material is: TC qOUT qIN C Mass, M Volume, V Density, r Basic Modeling Elements If there is net heat flow into the material, the temperature of the material will change and the rate of temperature change is proportional to the net heat flow rate qstore: Thermal Capacitance Note: + TC- qIN - qOUT C The above relationship holds only if we assume that the temperature is uniform across the entire material.
Interconnection Laws Energy Balance - 1st Law of Thermodynamics • Energy stored in the system is the sum of the net energy inflow, the energy generated within the system and the work done on the system: • Thermal EOMs are obtained by the balance of energy • Remember that there is NO inertia in macroscopic thermal system
