State of art on FEM approach in inverse heat transfer problems for different materials

Abstract

The present study investigates the utilisation of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in addressing Inverse Heat Transfer issues associated with diverse materials. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a widely utilised methodology in engineering design that effectively tackles thermal problems and heat transfer. The versatility of this technology transcends the domain of engineering and has been found to have practical applications in various fields such as biomedical science, aerospace, and chemistry. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has demonstrated its proficiency in addressing inverse heat transfer problems that are linked to a variety of materials, each of which has unique characteristics. The following discourse proceeds to conduct a thorough analysis of the application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in resolving inverse heat transfer predicaments with a view to achieving optimal results. The present paper expounds upon the inherent benefits and drawbacks associated with the utilisation of finite element techniques for the purpose of resolving inverse heat transfer problems. Furthermore, the present study examines the pragmatic implementation of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in addressing heat transfer issues in diverse fields, such as Boiler design, Heat exchanger design, Cooling tower design, and Nuclear reactor design. The paper offers tangible illustrations of how the FEM method can be utilised to tackle practical heat transfer difficulties by emphasising these particular applications. This paper provides a contribution to the comprehension of the effectiveness of the Finite Element Method when addressing inverse heat transfer problems. The aforementioned statement highlights the adaptability of this methodology in managing diverse substances with distinct characteristics and furnishes discernment into its benefits and drawbacks. Moreover, the article elucidates the multifarious implementations of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in the domain of thermal energy transfer, providing pragmatic exemplars of its efficacy in areas such as the design of boilers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and nuclear reactors.
