Heat Transfer First Principles — MATLAB Learning Files

MATLAB's export mlx→pdf didn't end up very neat, but I wanted to document what I was learning at the time. Referenced Textbook: Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 8th Edition by Theodore L. Bergman

Array Cooling

Simple forced convection array cooling model. Helped me understand some of the fundamentals of heat transfer, though I wasn't sure how this would transfer to the convoluted airflow path of ENEPAQ bricks.

Dynamic Similarity

I was planning on creating "mock Enepaq bricks" using 3D printing/laser cutting and round aluminum cylinders. I wanted to see if I could save a couple weeks by using imperial stock slightly bigger than 18mm round cells.

I learned that for my experimental model to be accurate it had to be dynamically similar, and I wanted to see how I would expect my results to change with different sized stock.

Simple 1R Cell Model

Wanted to understand the timescales of heating and how reactive I should expect the system to be.

Nusselt Correlation

Deriving the Nusselt number correlation for forced convection.
